The book, written by award-winning author and illustrator Nadia Shireen and published by Random House, is being delivered to schools throughout the Autumn term as part of BookTrust’s Time to Read campaign.
Families across the country will be following Norman the bear’s adventure at Bee School, as he tries to steal the bees’ honey in his best bee onesie in a fun story about inclusivity.
Time to Read originally launched in September 2016, encouraging parents and carers of primary school aged children to keep reading with their children - even once they’ve learned to read themselves.
