In a little yellow house deep in the delta South, the Bee lives. She is excited to spend time with her grandchild! When she arrives, the Bee quickly realizes there is a gap between them. In the little yellow house, all of the Bee's things have grown old, and yet, to the Bee they are still useful and important. However, through the eyes of her grandchild, everything she possesses is just old. Will the Bee be able to show her beloved grandchild the importance of valuing old things, including the Bee, when she asks the question, "So you truly believe if something is old, I should throw it away out into the cold?"
The Bee and Me is a compelling rhyme book designed to bring generations together, closing the gap between young and old by recognizing the beauty and value in them both.

"The Bee and Me"; an enthralling and powerful story. It is designed to challenge the developing perception that to be valuable, something must be new. In a world where youth is worshipped and filled with "the latest and greatest must haves", this story, in a powerful and touching way, teaches that value should be ageless. This story is for the young and old alike.
Melissa Evon King was born in Greenwood, Mississippi. From a young age she enjoyed literature, writing, and rhyming. After graduating college as a registered nurse, she began to work wit multi-generational populations, and on a regular basis flew home to Mississippi to help with an aging generation of family. Observing acutely, the "generation gap" between the ages, she began to write an unpublished series of poems about "the Bee" in order to help those in her work and her private life to deal with an ever-growing generation gap in a light-hearted way. This led to the compelling and honest story about value and aging in "The Bee and Me".
