Congrats to Deanna Maich on her beautiful illustrations for 3 new picture books:

The Cool Pool, The Neverending Sunflower

and

The Honey Hub

Written by Bianca Begovich

Published by Createbooks NZ, in paperback

For ages 4 - 8

The Honey Hub:  'There once was a boy who loved honey'. What do bees need to stay alive? What actions can we all take to help? Find out how we can all work together to save the honey bee.

Everyone loves honey, but our bees are dying out and they need some simple things to survive. A story about how one boy's love for honey led him to improve the environment for everyone.

The Neverending Sunflower:  'A boy planted a sunflower in his garden. The little plant grew and the boy was very happy'. But what happens to the sunflower when the boy forgets to look after it? Find out, in this gentle story about growing.

The second book in this series of environmental stories. Great for any parent wanting to teach their child about growing things.

The Cool Pool:  What happens when the boy keeps fishing until all the fish have gone? How does he fix the problem? Follow the boy's journey as he learns what's needed to keep the river he loves healthy.

This simple and delightfully illustrated story will charm both children and adults alike.

Great stuff - congrats again Deanna!
