‘The Beehive’ author, Simon Adepetun, is invited to a free program scheduled at the Barnes Children’s Literature Festival in London. The delightful and imaginative festival welcomes children and brings them closer to the best that children’s literature has to offer. The book introduces readers to the Chambers family, young Daniel in particular. He is only 11-years-old and feels that his parents always have something better to do, rather than listen to him. His sister is also an odd ball and prefers dolls over her own family members. He spends a lot of time with his friend Benji, who shows him an exciting find; a bee hive. Such discoveries are never that simple, as Dan finds out when strange men show up looking for their property. Simon has a degree in English Studies and a Postgraduate certificate in Theatre Studies. He lives in Manchester with his family.
