Bigger Than a Bumblebee (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
At once gentle and awe-inspiring, intimate as a warm hug and expansive as looking up on a starry night, this book introduces us to wonders small and large—from a ladybug to the northern lights, a dandelion to a blue whale—and our place among them all. Filled with glowing illustrations, this tender picture book is a celebration of the natural world and of the love between parent and child.

“In a loving meditation that connects relative size with love’s largesse, a child’s caretaker considers the child’s stature in comparison to components of the natural world…. [an] ode to a tenderness that’s ‘small,/ but it is big, too.’” — Publishers Weekly
