Official synopsis Publisher
“Conveys a very important lesson on ecosystem preservation nestled within an engaging story. . . .This is spring story time perfection.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
Bee, Ladybug, Beetle, and Dragonfly are looking for somewhere to live. And each has a different want: Bee loves flowers, Ladybug prefers leaves, Beetle is fond of dead wood, and Dragonfly likes ponds. But every time they find what seems like the perfect spot–with beautiful flowers, a tiny pond, some dead wood, or gorgeous green leaves–they discover it’s underfoot, near traffic, or otherwise not safe. Will these four friends ever find a good place? Lucy Cousins brings her bold artwork and endearing characters to an inviting story that leads to a dazzling conclusion, showing children that even in an urban environment, encouraging wildlife and natural ecosystems can create a healthy and beautiful habitat for all of us.
