Berl Hives picture book collection

Shannon Kernaghan’s pull towards writing for children is inspired by two factors: a desire to create stories worth sharing and the discovery of a great illustrator who showcases her picture books.

In her first of five BERL HIVES books, Berl the bee arrives from another place and must live with Aunt Bea and Uncle Hank in Nectarville. He begins as an “out of towner” until Berl is accepted in his new bee colony. He learns plenty about his new friends and himself in the process.In BORDER CROSSING, Berl worries that his parents won’t be able to cross the border. All he wants is for his family to live together in Nectarville – will Berl get his wish?
