The History of Bees by Maja Lunde makes its environmental statement. With such a topic, I expect that. However, this book accomplishes that in a natural way within the context of the story rather than a political statement that happens to be couched in a story. The parallel and equally important theme in this book is the bond between parent and child. The joys, sorrows, hopes, and disappointments of parenthood ground this story. They give the story its heart and make the environmental message a memorable one.
