An empty window box.
Two curious kids. A handful of native seeds. Watch a quiet city windowsill turn into a tiny wildlife stopover where bees, butterflies, beetles, and hoverflies come to visit.
Perfect for ages 3-8 at home, school, or on the go, Bee City blends story and science in five short chapters-Empty, Seed, Water, Bloom, and Buzz. As Max and Ayo plan, plant, and observe, young readers discover how flowers invite pollinators with color and scent, why different bloom shapes matter, and how even the smallest garden can help nature in big ways.
What kids will learn:
What pollination is and how it helps plants make seeds and fruit
How to choose native seeds and plan a simple window-box garden
Smart watering, gentle observing, and safe, insect-friendly habits
Easy hands-on ideas: counting visitors, keeping a garden journal, saving and sharing seeds
Why families and teachers love it:
Kid-friendly language and short, engaging chapters
Black-and-white cartoon illustrations with rich texture that spark curiosity
Encourages real-world observation, kindness to living things, and simple daily routines
Works for read-aloud time or independent reading
Bee City shows that helping nature doesn't require a backyard-just a small space, a few native seeds, and caring hands. Open the window, listen for the soft hum, and begin.
