Billie The Blue Banded Bee is a creative non-fiction children’s book, set in the enchanting grasslands of Victoria. Featuring an engaging rhyming story of Billie, real life Victorian grassland photos as well as hand drawn bees, this book aims to foster an early love for the environment by encouraging future generations to cherish and protect these magical landscapes from an early age.
