Elsi lives with her grandma, who keeps bees. By following them and noticing everything that takes place in the garden over the course of the year, Elsi comes to love each season in turn. This beautiful book offers children the chance to learn about the world of nature through Caryl's wonderful story and Val‚riane's fantastic illustrations. Ages 7+ "The beautifully worded text lets listeners feel Elsi's profound sadness, her growing bond with Grandma, and her reawakening happiness. Somewhat longer than in most picture books, the story weaves information about bees into the narrative. Leblond's pictures are warm in their expressive character depictions, childpleasing details, and lyrical tone. A Welsh picture book with universal appeal."--Booklist
