Young Adult
Meet Mason-a boy who is afraid of bees. Discover how Mason
conquers his fear of bees and feels like a superhero on a
mission to save bees after he meets a talking mason bee.
Yes, a bee sharing his own name! This rhyming picture
storybook teaches timely, important and weighty topics
about
native bees, habitat, pesticides, and native plants in a
light and fun way. Although geared for grades K-5, adults may learn a thing
or
two as well. This book naturally ties into science, social
studies, and health curriculum. The back of the book
features: a note to the caregivers/teachers; resources to
learn more about insects and habitat; as well as links to
extension activities and lessons about pollinators. This book was inspired by the author's son, Mason, who
declared that he hated bugs. Pape recognized this familiar
negative attitude toward insects and turned the teachable
moment into a book. By connecting children to plants, pollinators and their
food, Pape hopes her books will influence kids (and their
adults) to choose behaviors that support their own health
as
well as the health of the planet.
