Could be just the ticket for turning bee-phobes into beekeepers.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKaia is the brave type. Like hottest-hot-pepper brave. But there is one thing that scares her: BEES! And right now, thousands of bees live on her roof because Kaia's dad is a beekeeper. Her dad says that the world needs bees and that's why they are beekeepers. But only he goes on the roof, not Kaia--unless she can find a way to be the brave girl she always says she is. Against a sunny city setting, author Maribeth Boelts and illustrator Angela Dominguez depict Kaia's small courageous steps--and her tiny insect neighbors--with great empathy and charm. Buzzing with storytime potential, \u003ci\u003eKaia and the Bees\u003c\/i\u003e is an honest and relatable tale about bravery and compassion, as well as the importance of bees to our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536228793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e509676 \/ Kaia and the Bees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Maribeth Boelts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45111927931061,"sku":"9781536228793","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_37db852d-eaa3-461a-a472-d11929ec0b36.jpg?v=1739887606","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kaia-and-the-bees-9781536228793","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
