In the library – an illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring

In this illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring, named after Rachel Carson’s ground breaking book, the bees have broken into the village library. They didn’t actually break in because a small window was left open and they went to look up the meaning of the words that they had seen on the containers they found in the dark barn. A complicated story perhaps? The story is written for the 8-12 year old reader but a number of adults have also enjoyed reading it.

Some teachers thought that there is enough in the story to form the basis for a whole curriculum of outdoor and nature learning and all wrapped up in a story, children will love. The thing they liked best is the multitude of topics covered, all which are such important starting points for vital conversations with young people. The book has also been well received with the Scottish Beekeepers Association putting a copy of it along with the first book, Busy Bee and the Endangered Meadow, in their Edinburgh library.

The story is available as an ebook or in printed form globally on different Amazon websites and here are a couple of links https://www.amazon.co.uk/Busy-Silent-Spring-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B088JFN1ZV/ and https://www.amazon.com/Busy-Silent-Spring-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B088JFN1ZV/.

There are also T-shirts and long sleeve T-shirts available for children of the cover artwork with or without the book title, https://scientistandphilosopher.com/collection/kids/.

We are fortunate out in the wilds of the Welsh Marches that we still hear the cuckoo, but i wonder how many people still hear this most iconic sound of spring.
I guess there are many youngsters who have never heard the cuckoo. To me this is sad beyond words.

A dizzy Bee – an illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring

In this illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring one of the bees starts to feel very dizzy. The story is all about Bea and her friends who live in Old Oak Meadow trying to discover why all the inhabitants of the meadow are feeling unwell. This leads them to a bad farmer who is using banned pesticides. The story is written for the 8-12 year old reader and features a very special bee call Bea and many other creatures. The title is taken from the amazing Rachel Carson’s book and her fight against the agrochemical industry, the title of which is Silent Spring. I named the book in her honour.

Heard the cuckoo today for the 3rd time this year, but what was once a common part of spring is now a rare sound. Got me thinking that there will be many people, especially the young, who have never heard a cuckoo.
That is tragic.
