From bees and bats to beetles and hummingbirds, the text covers creatures from all over the world that aid in flower pollination, as well as the sophisticated mechanisms flowering plants have developed in order to reproduce.

"When Chloe was eight, she and her Dad made up many stories each night, with always one guiding request, "each one must be new and creative", filled with adventure and fun. Sometimes scary, some exciting, and each tale brought a next chapter and left more to build upon. One night they found themselves drawing characters from the many stories.Next they created a sequence of sketches of characters and bits of story. It was decided, the ladybug was the central character who set out on a journey to answer one question "Where do ladybugs get their color?"What started as a fun children's tale 12 years ago was incredibly brought to reality. A heartfelt thank you to Tome.app for helping to share this fun little father-daughter project in hopes to inspire many more to choose their own adventure and see it come to life."
