She reads about them. She watches videos about them. She catches them and studies them. Often. She has a honey bee in her sights. Sara wants to stop her.In The Humble Bee, the aspiring scientist and bugologist, Harveen Dhaliwal, is caught in the act of capturing a single bee by her friend, Sara Wong. The activist convinces the scientist that bees are best left in their natural state. However, when Sara tries to take the bee for herself, she (the bee) shows that she can take care of herself.From the Adventures of Granite Creek series, The Humble Bee is one of four books currently in print that shares the timeless values of self-reliance, community, friendship and joy. All the stories revolve around characters with particular passions. Even with their faults, it is hard not to love them The Apple Press introduces John and Aaron, the fun-loving optimists, who cannot get enough fresh farm food and all things that can be made from it.Harveen is a self-declared bugologist with an intense curiosity for the natural world. As seen in The Humble Bee she can be a wee bit naive at times.Ella is the perfect farm girl who gleans wisdom-a-plenty from her grandfather Wilf. She makes her first appearance in Victory is Sweet opposite her next door neighbour (Little) Tommy.Aside from competing with Ella, nothing in the world makes Little Tommy happier than spending time hunting or fishing with his old man Big Tommy or his grandpa, Big Big Tommy. The Gift is a story waiting to be told.Last but not least, Ephraim is the quiet farm boy who loves turning wrenches and all things mechanical. Unfortunately for him, his little sister, Sara, has a way of getting in the way. Nowhere is this more clear than in Sara's Bicycle.In the community of Granite Creek our characters are real and fallible, but ultimately trying to be the best they can be. Fans of Anne of Green Gables and Little House on the Prairie will likely find the children as kindred spirits and some of their adventures as familiar. The books are meant to entertain and cultivate a life-long love of reading. They contain traces of Robert Munsch-like humour and Dr. Seuss-like simplicity. Story time readers will love them as will early independent readers.Granite Creek Press was born in a small town of a few thousand people. The combination of self-reliant common sense and unwavering community support can be the same today as it was in generations past.
