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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16155863\"\u003eMaribeth Boelts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 9.80w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536228793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536228796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JUV\"\u003eJuvenile Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JUV002140\"\u003eAnimals | Insects, Spiders, etc.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JUV\"\u003eJuvenile Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JUV029010\"\u003eScience \u0026amp; Nature | Environment\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JUV\"\u003eJuvenile Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JUV039050\"\u003eSocial Themes | Emotions \u0026amp; Feelings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaribeth Boelts\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eHappy Like Soccer\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Lauren Castillo, and \u003ci\u003eThose Shoes \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eA Bike Like Sergio's, \u003c\/i\u003e both illustrated by Noah Z.
