The Little Bee - Nahoula and Loola

"The Little Bee" has been developed as an activity book. As a parent and/or instructor, we suggest reading together with your young readers and asking them the discussion questions about the Little Bee's story in each lesson. Each lesson includes activities to write, color, learn Arabic words, sing and play with the Little Bee. Please note that this book series is for all kids, both boys and girls. Since the worker bee is female, we have personified the main character as a female bee, called Nahoula (nickname for the word bee in Arabic Nahla), to make it easier for kids to relate to the character.

Raising a child with good manners is a duty obligated by all religious and public education legislations, for children are entrusted in our care and safekeeping. Taking care of each child as a whole being (soul, intellect, and body) is the most successful strategy for the sustainability and development of any society. We have developed this Grade-3 book as part of the 3 - book elementary series, titled "The Little Bee." Children are innately attracted to beautiful and delicate creatures, such as bees. The bee is known for its hardworking, generous and sacrificing nature. We have filled the book with beautiful drawings, using a simple approach to address the modern times and the age of the child.
