The Bees and the Wind Book Launch

The Council for Integrated Education is excited to introduce our new storybook, The Bees and The Wind (downloadable version and videos below – access your copy now).

The story has been developed as part of the celebrations marking 40 years of Integrated Education. The beautiful narrative is a reminder of all the hard work that has gone into getting us to where we are today. The bravery of those first parents, pupils and teachers who looked beyond the limited resources available, to the greater benefit for their children, and for society. The book has been developed to help open up discussions about Integrated Education with young children; both in the classroom and at home.

With funding from The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, we were able to secure a limited print run of the book which is being distributed amongst Integrated Schools. We are also delighted to be able to offer this storybook for free in a digital format, narrated by author Amelia Kai, or without narration so parents and children can read and enjoy it themselves. All versions are available below:

Thanks to The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, who provided a grant to The Council for Integrated Education to develop and print this book through their Reconciliation Fund. Special thanks to Amelia Kai, the author, and Jamie Beard, the illustrator for their dedication to this project and bringing the story to life in such a beautiful way.

We hope you enjoy the book and find it a helpful tool for discussing the importance of Integration.
