"This book has so many wonderful things kids can relate to, like the desire to help, a fascination with insects, and the importance of close friendships. It also has science, the magic of summer days, and shows how loss can inspire creativity. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish and I would happily recommend it to all bug-loving kids who are passionate about nature."

“This story is beautifully told… the pages are full of sincere emotions—from grief and mourning to joyous revelry—all exquisitely rendered with gouache and colored pencils in soothing nature colors. If you’ve never fallen in love with a bee, you will here.” —Booklist
