Celebrate the difference: ‘Hank and Bee’ by Kate Ryan
There is a growing number of publications for children, illuminating and celebrating difference. Hank and Bee, by Australian children’s author Kate Ryan, is one.
A sweet little picture book, it’s all about autism and ADHD, exploring how neurodivergent children can bring unexpected and welcome talents and abilities to many situations.
Rumbunctious pup Hank loves to chase and play all day with his tiny friend Bee, sometimes upsetting the flowers with his rolling and his tail-flicking. But when Bee loses his hive and needs to find his way home, it’s Hank’s amazing sense of smell that guides them on their way.
Together, the friends just can’t be beaten.
The simple, appealing text is nicely illustrated by Uliana B.
A lovely addition to the picture book world and one which will help very young children understand themselves and their friends a little better.
Hank and Bee is published by Kare Ryan in 2024.
My thanks to the author for a review copy.
