A bedtime story for curious kids about the quiet magic of nature. Inside the warm, busy hive, the bees suddenly all start to dance, twirling and wiggling round and round and round again. Why on earth all these funny little steps and turns and shimmies? Marin and Plume are quite determined to get to the very bottom of this small and curious little mystery.

Following the dance up close, our two explorers make a truly delightful discovery. The bees are actually talking to one another as they dance, using their wiggles and their turns to show all the others exactly which way to fly to find the loveliest, most flower-filled spots of all. Everyone, it turns out, has their very own special way of saying "it is this way, come and follow me." The closer they watch the dancing, the more they realise just how much the busy little bees have to say. They trace each loop and wiggle of the dance, slowly piecing together what the bees are trying to say. Round and round the busy dancers go, and slowly the whole clever message starts to make perfect sense.

Marin is utterly amazed to learn that even the very tiniest of creatures have a whole language all their own, and that nature is full to the brim with quiet, clever little conversations happening all around us, if only we stop and take the time to notice them.

This is a wonder-filled discovery story about the gentle, hidden magic of the natural world, the kind that opens the eyes of curious little ones wide. Perfect for the calm moment of the day. It is a wonder-filled little story about the secret conversations happening quietly all around us.

It leaves a child with a soft sense of wonder at the secret world all around them, a lovely thought to turn over quietly on the way to sleep.

A screen-free audio story for children ages 3 to 5, lovely at bedtime, at nap time, or in the car. As always with Tilibou, the ending stays soft and quiet, without music, so your child can settle down calmly. 🐳
