Description
Follow along as Yussef takes us on a journey through the trees,
Past all the branches, and below fallen leaves.
Deep down in the earth, but also in the sky,
He shows us who makes life possible... and why!
In this beautifully illustrated and colorful children's book, we learn about the various bugs that make life possible on earth. Using an apple as a tangible example, Yussef Rafik invites the reader to follow along as he traces the apple's life cycle from pollinators to detritivores, and everything in between. By breaking the process down into each specific step, young readers (and their family members) can see just how important it is to protect the bugs we share space with-and provide a home for them, if we can.
