Nakina and her twin brother Kaoru are going on a nature expedition with their Bompa (Japanese for Grandpa).
But what can they find in their own backyards?
Canadian environmental activist David Suzuki has written an exciting educational tribute to bugs based on his time with his own grandchildren.
It’s filled with fun insect facts and beautiful water colour illustrations that help us learn how essential bugs are to the world. Insects help to feed animals like frogs, fish, and birds, and supports new fruit to grow through pollination.
A perfect book for children 4-8 years old who want to know more about the world just outside their doors.
This book will ignite imaginations and teach children how to help bugs to thrive by planting flowers, going green, or even starting their own bug club.
Bompa’s Insect Expedition will make you want to explore your own backyard with a child. Bring a magnifying glass and a sense of curiosity!
Helps with: honouring inter-generational connection to grandparents, identifying and learning about insects, nature, and science, curiosity, wonder, environmental awareness, and nature adventures.
