You can be smart at drawing, at caring for others or building things.

Children will see that being smart at dancing, bug spotting, dinosaur hunting or music playing are all just as valid as academic smarts that are heavily focused on at school. 

We had a great time looking at the fluorescent illustrations and wondering how they were created. The colours will brighten your day and add brilliance to knowing how smart you truly are. 

All the ways to be smart should be shared with all children so that they can see that there are many different ways, throughout the day when they shine. They can see that even the smallest of achievements can be their way of being smart and that that makes them special. 

This book is also fantastic for parents and teachers to see that every child can do well and we do not always need to focus so strongly on the academic side of life. It shows us that we need to see the skills that all children have and give them the opportunities to use them in different ways, every day!

Thanks so much Vanessa for coming out and sharing your book “The Bee Detectives” with our children 3-5 years old. The experience allowed them to learn so much more about Bees. We have had our native Bees for several years and had beekeepers out before. Your book took an in-depth look into classification, different ways they live, how they collect pollen and make honey.  It created lots of meaningful conversation with the children; your interactive book reading allowed them to share these ideas with each other. The extended activity afterwards of the magnifiers provided by Vanessa was a great extension to the book. The children were so excited to be their very own Bee detectives and really extended their learning.

I was impressed with Vanessa’s professionalism in preparing the teacher notes for my picture book, In the Shadow of an Elephant. Her depth of knowledge on the multitude of topics covered was just incredible! She has compiled a 15-page document that will allow Educators and students an opportunity to explore conversations and discover different layers within the book.
