An Elephant's Advice

Tun Tun is a baby elephant

Carefree, healthy and very intelligent
Jumbo is his strong, brave father

And Ayo his wise, beautiful mother

At six happy years and a half
Tun Tun is a forest elephant calf
That’s what elephant babies are called

And he’s already more than a metre tall

In the past century alone, 90% of African elephants have been wiped out - mainly for their ivory.  During the past decade, growing demand for ivory has led to a dramatic increase in illegal elephant poaching in several parts of Africa.

It is estimated that a staggering 20,000 African elephants are killed each year  - approximately 55 every day. 

Elephants, including African forest elephants like Tun Tun, are under threat. Learn about his life, the danger he faces, and the brave people helping him to survive in this beautifully illustrated rhyming story for ages 4+.

The Last Honey Bee

Look at me, I’m wild and free.

Look at me, I’m Manderlee.

Manderlee, that’s me.

Manderlee, the last honey bee.

Learn about Manderlee, an adventurous honey bee, and the challenges she must overcome in this beautifully illustrated rhyming story for ages 3+.

When her hive is destroyed, Manderlee must find a new home. Learn about the importance of honey bees, and join Manderlee on her perilous journey to a foreign land. Will the last honey bee survive?

According to the June 2019 survey of the Bee Informed Partnership, bee colony death continues to rise in the United States of America. U.S. beekeepers lost nearly 40% of their honey bee colonies in the winter of 2018/2019 - the greatest winter hive loss reported since the partnership began its surveys in 2006. 

The Independent Newspaper has reported that in the United Kingdom, climate change, pollution, disease and habitat loss have negatively affected bee populations. Seventeen species of bees are now regionally extinct and many others are at risk. Several other leading newspapers have reported similar findings.

The Last Honey Bee aims to make young children aware of the importance of honey bees while urging them not to harm these important pollinators. Children are encouraged to plant wildflowers, which are also declining in the UK.
