The Bee cover

A charming picture book based on an award-winning song by Inuit singer-songwriter Becky Han.

Based on an award-winning song by Inuit artist Becky Han, this book follows the narrator on an adventure across Nunavut with her buzzing companion.

When the narrator of this fun and silly book is startled by the buzzing of a bee, she sets off on an adventure that sees her running from community to community, trying to lose her buzzing companion. When she has run clear across Nunavut, she finally realizes that perhaps this little bee isn’t such a fearsome foe after all!

"Should delight little ones with rhythmic and repetitive words and actions." —Kirkus Reviews

"[T]he folksong quality of the repeating structure and comic exaggeration are charming, and Tindur Peturs’ illustrations are breathtaking in the quietest of ways."—CM: Canadian Review of Materials


This fun read shares a lesson in overcoming something you fear.
