Reading my picture book IF BEES DISAPPEARED at a honey festival

An author/illustrator event vlog

Spend the day with me at the Parker Honey Festival! This is my second year being asked to come do story times of my nonfiction picture book IF BEES DISAPPEARED.

I had to drive a ways to get there and I had the idea on the drive to film the day for a vlog. Picture book author events are so charming and the kids are always so engaged. Plus, it’s not every day you get to talk about bees at a honey festival!

What would happen if bees disappeared? Find out in this fourth book from Lily Williams in the award-winning If Animals Disappeared Series that imagines the consequences of a world without bees.

The rolling hills and lush climate of Kent, England are home to many creatures.

These creatures are fluffy, sneaky, spikey, and ... small, like the bee.

Though bees are small, their importance is BIG. Today there are over 250,000 species of bees but all of them are in danger. Because of disease, pesticide exposure, lack of foraging habitats, and poor nutrition, entire honey bee hives are dying.

What would happen if bees disappeared completely?

Artist Lily Williams explores how such a loss would effect not just bees' environment, but the world as a whole in this poignant, beautiful book about the importance of our most important bees.
