Description

By the author of the memoir The Honey Bus, a bittersweet picture book about a lonesome and fearful girl who finds herself at home with her grandfather and his honeybees From Meredith May, the award-winning author of the memoir The Honey Bus, My Hive is a bittersweet picture book about a lonesome and fearful girl who finds herself at home with her grandfather and his honeybees—illustrated by Jasmin Dywer. Living with grandpa and his thousands of honeybees, a girl learns to overcome her fears of getting stung, how to spin comb, and that honey tastes sweet and sometimes bitter, like love. Sometimes family is whom you find yourself in a hive with. Inspired by the author’s experience of moving in with her grandparents as a child, My Hive resonates gently with themes of alternative families, generational wisdom and connection, facing one’s fears, and finding one’s home in the unlikeliest of places.
