Omar, The Bees And Me

It was a factual book, great for learning about bees and friendship

A treasure of a book. There are a lot of books with a refugee theme but this stood out as not just a book on a topic but a really appealing and accessible story which generates that shared feeling of kindness and lets make the world better that you get when you read with a small and attentive group of primary children. Beautiful illustrations and lots of possibilities for creativity and displays, also includes a recipe for honey cake which one of our teachers made and it was delicious

Book read to Henry

Loved learning about bees

I liked the movie

So interesting.

This book was a little bit hard to read,

This book is about a little girl, named Maisie and her new friend, Omar. They both learned at school about bees and why is important to take care of bees. They make honey and without them we will never know what is the taste of honey. This book is not fiction and everything looks real in it. I would definitely recommend this book to my colleagues Because is very important to know the life of bees.

I liked the honey cake recipe and learning about how important bees are to us. We should all plant more flowers for the bees.

This book was extraordinary!!!!I would definitely recommend it for everyone on the planet.

Good

Grandad was so lucky because he had a bee house in his garden.

Amassing because I love nature and sometimes bees. Sometimes I get a little scared of them but this book has helped me to not be afraid!

THis story was lovely, Maisie made frineds with Omar and they shared bee stories in their families. Omar was from far away, but his grandad was a bee keeper and his mum made yummy honey cake. Maisie's grandad was a bee keeper too and he put honey in jars, then Omar's mum made a cake for the class to share. The class gave out lots of seed to the neighbours and made a 'be corridor' from their school to the park, it worked!! There were lots of flowers in the spring time. It was a good story because the bees were helped and the children made friends and they enjoyed sharing things that both of their families did.

This was a lovely story. Can’t wait to try making some honey cake!

Omar and meisie try to save bees by planting plants in the neighbourhood. And they became good friends. I liked the honey cake Omar brought for show and tell and I want to try making it with my mum and Gian.

I like the way the flowers are painted in the book and I had a go at Katie Cottle's video showing how to have a go at painting them like her. My painting turned out really well! I liked that the children were in Year 1 like me and I love the bees! Bees are really important to us and nature :)

A beautiful story of difference and connection with a diverse setting. One of my favourite books this summer which I will definitely share again and again.

Very good.

The girl was being nice to her friend Omar who shared a honey with him. It teaches us to be friendly and kind to your friends.
