The Bee Who Spoke

In The Bee Who Spoke, we are introduced to an adventurous and inquisitive eleven-year-old girl called Belle who lives in Paris. For her summer vacation she travels to the Ardeche countryside to visit her grandparents where she is given a bicycle so she can go explore. Belle ventures off far away fro her grandparents house. Suddenly, disaster strikes: Belle falls from her bicycle and realizes that she is lost.  Fortunately, she is found and befriended by a talking bee, who, while guiding Belle safely back to her grandparent s house, introduces her to the plants and animals that are around her. Belle sees the world with fresh eyes and knows that she will never see the environment around her in the same way.

An engaging story, beautiful illustrations, and environmental theme. The story of Belle and the Bee will enchant and entertain young readers and spur their curiosity about nature.
