"Eccentric and unusual with an appealing, gentle charm," raves
"Kirkus Reviews," in a starred review.
Every morning, Fred climbs three flights of stairs--up to his
rooftop in Brooklyn, New York--and greets the members of his
enormous family: "Good morning, my bees, my darlings " His honeybee
workers are busy--they tend the hive, feed babies, and make wax
rooms. They also forage in flowers abloom across Brooklyn... so
that, one day, Fred can make his famous honey, something the entire
neighborhood looks forward to tasting. Lela Nargi's beautifully
written story--accompanied by Kyrsten Brooker's collage-style
illustrations--offers an inside look at the life of an endearing
beekeeper and the honey-making process.

Can anyone predict the future?
Meet twelve mind-boggling personalities who seemed to know how.
Among them are:
The ancient Maya, who invented a remarkably accurate calendar that
gave a date for the end of the world: December 21, 2012.
Leonardo da Vinci, the great artist, who drew detailed sketches of
tanks, machine guns, and helicopters...four centuries before they
were invented.
Nostradumus, the sixteenth-century French doctor whose amazing
predictions included the rise of Adolf Hitler.
Jeane Dixon, a wealthy socialite who, on November 22, 1963, looked
into her lunch of eggs florentine and announced, "Something
dreadful is going to happen to the president today."
Did they always get it right? How did they know? Were they
psychic? Or did they simply combine knowledge, sensitivity,
inspiration, and some good old-fashioned luck to see into the
unknown? Kathleen Krull and Kyrsten Brooker's entertaining and
enlightening book may just hold the answers to these and other
fascinating questions.
