About the author

Sylva Fae is a married mum of three from Lancashire, England. She grew up in a rambling old farmhouse with a slightly dysfunctional family and an adopted bunch of equally dysfunctional animals. She spent twenty-plus years teaching literacy to adults with learning difficulties and disabilities but now lives in Cheshire, juggling being a mum, writing children’s stories, and keeping up with the crazy antics of three naughty rabbits.
Sylva and her husband own a wood where they run survival courses and woodland craft days. Their woodland adventures inspired her to write picture books and stories to entertain her three girls.
Three of her books won best in category at the Chanticleer International Awards, and several books have won Reader's Choice Awards. Sylva also enjoys writing for Connections eMagazine.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018In an era where bees are endangered and many children seem not to take time away from screens of one type or another to enjoy the pleasures of a garden, this book is a breath of fresh air.
The concept of the story seems simple - a little girl longs for a puppy and finds an unusual alternative - but there is an underlying message of hope and acceptance in this story that is very positive and encouraging for children. It is a very good thing to open our children's minds to things that are out of the ordinary, and to teach them that even among friends who are very different, we can have surprising similarities.
The illustrations are cheerful, colourful and varied so that the book remains engaging for younger readers throughout the story.
This story also comes with helpful information about how to provide for bees in t notes about what might be harmful to the bees that visit our back yards.
This would be a delightful book for families to read together, or for more independent reading as children get a little older. It would also be a valuable addition to school and town libraries.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019A lovely little story, another gem from Sylva Fae.
On the surface, it us a story aboyt a little gitl who wanted a pet, but there is much more to it than that. It is also about respecting nature and conservation of bees, an important message, with some related notes at the end.
The writing is lively and my children love it, as well as the illustrations being beautiful and appealing.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019What a wonderful way to teach children to respect bees, which are so important to our survival. Lovely pictures, cute story, and great information at the end to show a child (and adults) how to care for our friend the bee.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020Great story line. Shows that friends can be different than you,but in this case it might encourage young kids to get stung by a new they think is a pet.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018My son enjoyed the story about the bee. I appreciated the notes at the end. It has a nice read aloud flow.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019A charming, lovely, and delightful story to read to/with your little ones, and one that gently introduces little ones to the beauty of nature, and to trust and appreciate natural wildlife, namely the bees. There's just the right balance of humour too, like when Beatrice Rose is being addressed by her 'Shouting' name, but as just Bea the rest of the time. There's also lots of clever use of the word Bea/Bee that children will like too, and the sense of familiarity of Bea's life with her mum. I particularly liked too the little tips at the end about caring for a sick or injured bee.
As well as a smashing wee story, it's only fair to add the illustrations are not only vividly bright and colourful but also utterly beautiful - the artist makes the illustrations look deceptively simple, but in truth, they're as professional and well-drawn as any I've seen in young child's picture/storybook. Parents and grandparents will enjoy so much quality time with their young ones as they will likely want to read it over and over again.
Now I know the high cost of printing associated with children's story/picturebooks might be offputting for some parents, but it's worth noting that although they don't download onto a regular kindle, anyone with Amazon's KU can read if for free on any android tablet or laptop with no loss of picture quality (quite the opposite in fact), or failing that, download it to such a device for less than half the print price ... an absolute bargain for the smiles it'll bring a wee youngster.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2018This is a charming tale about a little girl who would love to have a pet. She makes friends with a bee. Throughout the story she finds similarities between herself and the little bee. The book is well written and beautifully illustrated. An added bonus is some factual information at the end of the book about how to care for an injured bee and what flowers and plants they like. I'd definitely recommend this book for little one.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019Beautiful story that will make children see bees in different way, not be afraid, but to love them!
My little son enjoyed the illustrations very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and engaging.
A charming story about a girl who befriends an injured bee. I love the way the story flows, and my daughter is enchanted by it. Once is never enough! The pictures are bright and appealing.
There's a section at the end about encouraging news in the garden, we will be following some of the planting advice this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bea_utiful Book.
The bright colours in the images capture the child's attention and hold it as the story is read to them. The story of Bee is one that they can relate to and enjoy.
There's even some practical tips at the end for anyone finding a sluggish bee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational and a lovely story
Beautifully illustrated and a lovely story as well as being educational. My 5 year old grandson absolutely loves it and has gained an understanding about the importance of bees. Thank you Fae.
