The Rainbow Bee Ricardo Gattas-Moras

Ready to have the "D" conversation? The Rainbow Bee book is a sweet and thoughtfully-illustrated story about a bee who is born looking quite different (with rainbow stripes) into a hive that has never dealt with "Diversity" amongst its members.




"Rainbow not only looked different, but liked different things too."




The authors introduce surprise, conflict and vulnerability in a way that children of all ages can understand and enjoy. Rainbow, the main character in the story, is able to help the hive realize that differences can be beautiful, and should be embraced.




"We're all a little different; some taller, some shorter, some wider, some slimmer, some yellow and black, and some rainbow. But inside we're all the same."
