Clover and the Thousand Tiny Trips
A story about big things built a little at a time.
Clover the honeybee is the busiest one in the whole garden. Flower to flower to flower she goes, and nobody in Cottage Creek Garden has ever once seen her stop.
But when Mari and Theo finally follow her, they discover what her thousand tiny trips have been quietly building all along. And when the flowers close for the evening, they learn Clover's other secret: even the busiest worker in the garden is allowed to rest.
A warm read-aloud about big things built a little at a time, and the quiet joy of a well-earned rest. For ages 3 to 8, with a gentle first look at how pollination works.
