Carter Speaks to Carpenter Bees is a beautiful book inspired by a true story. The story follows a curious little boy named Carter as he strolls through his neighborhood and sees two carpenter bees. While others run away at the sight of them, Carter joyfully chases, speaks and plays alongside the buzzing visitors.
The book is illustrated with vibrant double-page spreads, brought to life through a bright and lively color palette that captures Carter’s playful spirit and the magic hidden in everyday moments.
