With a little help from some new friends, including the animated hero ‘Little Bee’, the songwriter and festival legends, Beans on Toast, are very pleased to announce a brand new series of children’s books and an accompanying album.

Set to release on 1st December 2022, ‘The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee’ is a collection of original stories and songs for kids, created by folk singer Beans on Toast, with a nurse and a teacher – Jaime and Lily Adamsfield.

For children aged 2-10 years olds, the series takes us into the world of the character Little Bee. Presenting ten unique rhyming adventures, each will invite you on a journey to exotic new places, from the sea to the city, the woods to other worlds, into space and back in time.

Each of the ten books arrives with its own perfectly paired song, written and performed by Beans. From the slick R’n’B stylings of “To The City”, the dance floor-ready disco of “To The Rainbow”, to the futuristic synth-pop of “To Space”; there’s a song to suit every story. 

To celebrate the release, Beans on Toast will be launching ‘The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee’ with four live shows across the UK. Featuring appearances from Beans on Toast, with Jaime and Lily Adamsfield. You can expect live music, dancing, crafting and crowd participation. All followed by a kids’ dance party. The full list of dates are as follows:

Speaking about how the ‘Little Bee’ book series and record came to be, Beans on Toast says:

“Since becoming a Dad a few years back, I’ve been fully immersed in kid’s books. I Love them! I feel like kid’s books are very similar to folk songs. They’re simple, to the point, with a message about being kind to the world and its people.”

Learning some all-important lessons along the way, these songs and stories will teach children about patience, poetry, wisdom, community, and curiosity. 

‘The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee’ set comes with a set of 10 children’s books, plus access to the full album of original music written by Beans on Toast. In addition, the set will also offer access to a digital treasure trove of additional online entertainment, including dance videos, guitar lessons, craft workshops, and audio narrations of each book by its creators. The box set can be pre-ordered now here. A treat for kids and big kids alike!

‘The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee’ will be released on December 1st, 2022 via Play on Words Publishing.
