About the Book

"Bright-eyed figural characterizations of the flower and bees lend a retro vibe to this playful view of the pollination cycle." —Publisher's Weekly

When Little Bee meets a new flower friend, she begins a joyful journey—learning how pollen travels from flower to flower and how bees help plants, fruits, and the foods we eat grow. Blending playful storytelling with simple science, Little Bee and the Bloom introduces young readers to pollination in a warm, age-appropriate way.

Written by Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, and illustrated with whimsical artwork by Katie Hunt, this STEM nature picture book invites children to see bees as magical, helpful, and vital to the world around us.

Here’s what makes Little Bee and the Bloom special:

  • A Friendly Introduction to Pollination: Shows how bees help flowers, fruits, plants, and food systems thrive.
  • STEM Learning for Early Readers: A natural fit for preschool, PreK, kindergarten, and early elementary science units.
  • Environmental Awareness for Kids: Helps children understand why bees matter and how families can support pollinators.
  • Educational Extras: Includes key bee terms and simple tips for helping bees and pollinators.

Little Bee and the Bloom is a charming picture book about bees, pollination, friendship, and caring for nature—perfect for curious kids, Earth Day reading, STEM classrooms, and nature-loving families.
