Yoto Says: A beautiful exploration about what bees mean to the world.

Shabazz Larkin’s The Thing About Bees is a Norman Rockwell-inspired Sunday in the park, a love poem from a father to his two sons, and a tribute to the bees that pollinate the foods we love to eat. Children are introduced to different kinds of bees, “how not to get stung,” and how the things we fear are often things we don’t fully understand.

Carter S. ★★★★★

My boys were completely captivated by the way the story moves through the park scenes, and the father’s voice feels so warm and genuine. The Norman Rockwell-style illustrations are really beautiful and keep their attention from start to finish.

James Q. ★★★★★

The illustrations have a warm, nostalgic feel that perfectly matches the father's poetic narration. My kids actually sat still for the whole thing, which is rare for us with audio cards.

Ryan V. ★★★★★

My son was mesmerized by the father's voice in this—it feels like a warm, poetic story about bees and family. The Norman Rockwell-style imagery description makes it so vivid for a simple card.
