about

***PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTIST BY PURCHASING THIS ALBUM!!!***

Join Maya, an adventurous little bee who is learning about the world, meeting many new friends, facing big challenges, and growing at last into a mature and valuable member of her hive. This entertaining and meaningful story has lessons for children and adults alike, helping us find our sense of wonder in a diverse world, upholding kindness and deepening our appreciation for the natural world.

This musical audio-story adaptation was written by Meagan Chandler in collaboration with Sage Hamilton (originally as a children's play!), and is inspired by The Adventures of Maya the Bee written by German author Waldemar Bonsels in 1912.
