Bumblebees have Smelly Feet
This non-fiction children’s book features information on why bumblebees have whiffy feet, how their bodies work, their super power eyesight, their family and life cycle, and how you can help this integral insect survive. With an ultra-violet light experiment and how to imitate the bumblebee’s super talent: buzz pollination, this book is fun and educational in the best way possible. The charming illustrations and photos will certainly capture the reader’s heart!
Hello! Kia ora! Welcome new friend!
Hello! Kia ora! Welcome new friend! is a beautifully illustrated picture book that models a kind and caring attitude to welcoming new children into their play and learning environments (ECE's). Ruby goes from feeling like an outsider, to feeling like she belongs to her new kindergarten family. These pre-school kids have learnt their kind actions have a transforming effect. With 24 ways to say hello in the back of the book, such as; "Hello! Talofa! Welcome new friend!" It's a simple way to include and welcome the cultures and diversity of our New Zealand children.
