Like hottest-hot-pepper brave. But there is one thing that scares her: BEES  And right now, thousands of bees live on her roof because Kaia's dad is a beekeeper. Her dad says that the world needs bees and that's why they are beekeepers. But only he goes on the roof, not Kaia -- unless she can find a way to be the brave girl she always says she is. Against a sunny city setting, author Maribeth Boelts and illustrator Angela Dominguez depict Kaia's small courageous steps -- and her tiny insect neighbors -- with great empathy and charm. Buzzing with storytime potential, \u003ci\u003eKaia and the Bees\u003c\/i\u003e is an honest and relatable tale about bravery and compassion, as well as the importance of bees to our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaribeth Boelts\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eHappy Like Soccer\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Lauren Castillo, and \u003ci\u003eThose Shoes \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eA Bike Like Sergio's, \u003c\/i\u003e both illustrated by Noah Z.
