My Review
This YA Fantasy is an easy read and very imaginative. The whimsical illustrations are perfect for the story. The main characters are Butterfly Bee Lady and Bramley, the Bee. They strike up a unique friendship as they are both collecting pollen in the fields. Bee Lady isn’t a bee, but is a beautiful butterfly. After she places her eggs in a tree, she must leave. She entrusts her babies with Bramley. The Queen Bee releases Bramley from collecting pollen to now protecting the babies.
Bee Lady has an evil sister who doesn’t want the babies to survive. Bramley works hard one night to move the babies in their cocoons to a safe place. With the help of a bat and spider, Bramley keeps the evil sister and her dragonfly army away. But, now the evil sister has located their hiding place. Will they survive? Will the babies have a future? This is a very entertaining book.

My Review
Sounds like a delightful children’s book, and the cover is pretty! Thanks for sharing your review, Lisa and have a terrific weekend!
I can only say thank you Lisa for your support and review.
Of course, this is only the first book of the series of three, book two will be published shortly 2023 – Spring.
It is a continuation of the story and this book will be aimed at 8+ age and much longer.
I do hope you will be happy to receive a copy.
Regards Ig Oliver.
