A children's book by Easton resident Mary Ann Degala.

Buzz through a grandmother's garden while baby bee learns of his role as a pollinator and the names of stunning flowers that bees love. A sweet, playful and comforting bedtime story, To Bee teaches children about a bee's value in the ecosystem and botany while subliminally messaging reciprocation, purpose and mindfulness. Toddlers and parents will love to read this book together every day and night in search of nature, calmness and wellbeing in this frenetic world. It is "baby existentialism" in which we all learn how "To Bee". The stunning illustration leaves an impression paired with a simple and lyrical narrative.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Mary Ann Degala's earliest literary experiences were voraciously digesting book upon book at the Brooklyn Heights Public Library. She obtained a BA at College of the Holy Cross in English/Pre-medical sciences with a minor in Studio Art, and a Master in Public Health at Columbia University. She is most grateful for raising 3 children in Easton, Connecticut's, countryside and the mountains of Stratton, Vermont. Her memories of their childhoods hold a special place in her heart, and this is where her stories find their words.
