Story Synopsis
In gardens and fields, bees and butterflies do quiet, important work. This story explains pollination in a child-friendly way. Miluna describes pollen as a tiny powder plants need to make seeds and fruits. When a bee or butterfly visits a flower for nectar, pollen can stick to its body. When it visits the next flower, some pollen rubs off. That small transfer helps the plant make seeds—and often fruits—so new plants can grow. The story also notes that many foods people eat come from pollinated plants. It stays gentle and appreciative, encouraging children to notice nature’s helpers. Curiosity stories like this grow gratitude, knowledge, and a calm love for the living world.
