Wonderful review of my latest book, THE MIGHTY POLLINATORS, by Betsy Bird for School Library Journal.
“Here come the pollinators, / small and mighty, / holding the world together.”
Get up close and personal with the tiny critters that pollinate our world.
Breathtaking photography coupled with beautiful verse.
I mean, should we just reserve a permanent slot on our annual lists that says something like [Enter Helen Frost Poetry/Photography Book Here] or something along those lines?
Who can compete with her when she pairs with Rick Lieder? No one, that’s who!
As visual deep dives into pollination go, I dare say this has no equal. Lieder took the time to make sure that every bug in this book isn’t just showing its good side to the camera, but has copious specks of pollen on its body as well. And, bonus, the poetry itself is pretty darn good (no small thing).
Nature at its most beautiful.
