Based on the best-selling 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. Living with grandpa and his beehives, a girl learns to overcome her fears of getting stung, how to spin comb, and that honey tastes sweet and sometimes bitter, like love. Inspired by the author’s experience of moving in with her grandparents as a child, My Hive resonates gently with themes of alternative family, generational wisdom, facing one’s fears, and finding home in the unlikeliest of places. For ages 5-7.
