Translated by Elisa Amado.
Tulip, a "watering fairy," grieves the loss of her beloved honey-making dog-bee named Lupin. A journey across the river and sea helps ease Tulip's sadness; returning, she finds a baby dog-bee to care for. Though we're told Tulip is bereft, readers never quite feel her deep sadness. Fanciful watercolor and acrylic illustrations splashed with tulip-reds and pinks lighten the story's mood.
