The solution, he realizes, is in the rooftop gardens and window boxes of
his apartment neighbors, representing a varied and continuously blooming
array of flowers that the bees will love. Aunt Celine must bring her
bees to Paris! But first he and his friends Alice and Samir must
convince their skeptical neighbors and landlord, Mr. Dubi, that this is
a good idea.
Adorned with Parisian skylines, Bees in the City is a love letter
to the City of Light and a celebration of the can-do spirit of kids.
Sarah McMenemy's illustrations recall the Parisian magic of Madeleine.
The book's backmatter explores urban beekeeping and rooftop gardening in
greater depth.
