2 Children’s Books for Bug Lovers
Combining their talents to bring two playfully educational children’s books about industrious bugs to life is the creative team of author, illustrator, and photographer William Dandurand (whose grandfather, Ray Lowe, worked for Disney); authors Mary Cohen and Elisabeth Revel; illustrator Gary Revel Jr.; and author and publisher Gary Revel.
Fly Patrol and The Adventures of Hillary the Little Ladybug use a blend of original illustrations and photography in the telling of two stories that point out how hard-working the tiny bugs that share our world have to be to survive and thrive.
What kiddo isn’t fascinated by creepy crawlies, busy bees, and other industrious insects?
Original illustrations, photography, and playfully educational storylines combine in two adventurous new children’s tales from Jongleur Books. Fly Patrol (ISBN: 979-8786972543) and The Adventures of Hillary the Little Ladybug (ISBN: 979-8797004899) feature confident female characters and plenty of nature-inspired nuggets of wisdom to both entertain and inform young readers and budding entomologists.
Fly Patrol
From author, photographer, and illustrator William Dandurand (whose grandfather, Ray Lowe, worked for Disney), and author Gary Revel, shares the story of an elite squadron of flies that serves to protect innocent flies looking for food. The flies must be protected not only from humans but also from a mysterious intruder-fly. When Commander Ace is injured in battle, a young cadet named Sargent Hot Sauce must prove herself by assuming command of the Fly Patrol during the heat of battle. The war will continue and will never end until humans share their food with the flies.
