The Royal Bee

I used this book in my 3rd grade classroom to teach a lesson on inferences by an author. We took 2 days to read this story so we could really break it down. We LOVED this story-the kids applauded when I finished. It is a story that teaches so many things-perserverance, an appreciation for education, as well as how students (specifically socioeconomic classes) were treated in Korea. The illustrations are lovely and the author keeps our attention beautlifully! A wonderful story to add to any classroom library.

This is a book I use with first graders to introduce the comprehension concepts of questioning, and predicting. They love the rich illustrations. The cover gives no hint as to what the "bee" is. The way their understanding of the story unfolds is wonderful. I highly recommend this book for teachers.

This is a wonderful book! I read it to my 3rd graders and they were so quiet and attentive. I may have even shed a tear while reading it! Great book!

This is an inspiring story made better by the knowledge that it's based on a true story. My 6- and 8-year old daughters enjoy this book.

are a great way to introduce just about any subject to be studied no matter what age they are. This book was in fantastic condition.

This is a book my daughter wanted, after getting it for her and reading why. It was well worth the story.

I read this book to fourth graders! They loved it!

I purchased this children’s book to read to my grandchildren on a Zoom call and found myself emotionally moved by it. It is a story of success, perseverance, and opportunity. A young boy, driven by his love for his mother, was determined to bring more happiness to her life and was relentless in that pursuit. It is a true story, about the co-authors (Francie and Ginger Park’s grandfather – Song-ho), which makes it all the more special. This real-life story is another example of how love can shape your life and change the world. It touched my heart and is a book that all can enjoy. It is a bright, cheery story full of valuable life lessons to pass along to your children and grandchildren.
