\u2018There is something special in this old town, The Manchester Bee<\/strong> is a new illustrated children\u2019s book written by Peter A. Johnson<\/a> and illustrated by Nastia Peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a surprising dearth of the books about the bee, with only one previously published<\/a>, so it\u2019s nice to see another one released.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/manchesterbe.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Copy.jpg” alt=”Manchester Bee Example Page 1″ title_text=”Manchester Bee Example Page 1″ align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Dedicated to the city that swarmed together in its hour of need, the book is a celebration of Manchester through rhyming couplets and beautiful illustrations.
