The story is a fun, quick read, and helps kids learn about bees, busting a lot of bee myths along the way. The illustrations are a delight and it's great to see Bee Boy's classmates looking like communities in real life. His crush is an Indian girl! I thought that was cool.

The illustrations are gorgeous! I find myself wanting to know more about the Monster...

A very quick read for pointers on how to unlock creativity. Nothing really groundbreaking here, but put together like this, it's a great start for anyone needing a kick in the butt to pursue their ideas or get unstuck. There are fun reflection exercises and the book (printed in $ingapore!) is beautifully produced with thoughtful and surprising typography and illustrations.

Small book, many short essays with big words and interesting ideas. My favourites are the chapters by Dr Nuraliah Norasid, Halijah Mohamad and Faris Joraimi. Not all the ideas are new to me, so several essays are very readable and skimmable, but it's a nice compilation of all these ideas and I like that a lot of the sources are listed for further reading. (Minus one star for the number of editing/proofreading errors - but I've noticed this seems to be a thing in most library copies of books. 🤨)

I liked listening to her speeches within the book. Great delivery of the main text by the author too.
