Rob Ramsden is an illustrator, author, educator and gardener and father to the boy who saw a bee, whose keen observations and experiences of starting school became the inspiration for I Saw A Bee published by Scallywag Press in 2019. He had been illustrating for around 12 years before he took the leap into the world of Children’s Book Illustration. He is an arts educator too, including a year long residency in a primary school teaching animation and art workshops. He’s also a keen gardener, and where gardening is concerned he’s the student and the bees are the teachers, the more he learns, word gets around “He’s a good student this one, see what good work he’s doing”, and they come with a familiar buzz. It's fair to say that a lot of what he sees in the garden makes it into his 'In The Garden' series, published by Scallywag Press I Saw A BEE was his debut book published by the brilliant Scallywag Press. At the heart of the story the theme is friendship, and even if our first reaction is the opposite of being friendly, perhaps through our experiences we can see that we are much alike, that we can all feel the same things, and perhaps we can begin to see how we reflect each other. What has been said about I Saw A Bee: 'This effectively simple book is beautifully illustrated with stylish, patterned graphics showing bee and boy sharing our precious natural environment. The first of a proposed series of books aiming to ‘encourage young children to enjoy and appreciate the natural world’ it’s perfect for sharing with young listeners and equally, with its short rhythmic rhyming text, an ideal book for beginning readers. Either way, it conveys its crucial environmental message without a hint of preachiness.'
