“Pollinators” is the first story in the "Hotspur and Friends” series. Wasp Queen Ezzmeralda selfishly wants all the flower nectar for her larvae and won’t let Hotspur eat any of his favourite delicious dandelions. When heavy rain puts Ezzmeralda’s nest in danger, Hotspur and friends bravely come to her rescue and save the day.

“Hotspur and Friends” is a series of adventures featuring a very old tortoise called Hotspur who lives in a large garden, in a city by the sea. His garden is surrounded by trees and long grass and home to lots of different animals. Unlike all of the other creatures in the garden, Hotspur is not indigenous but an immigrant. As he is very old, he is very wise. He moves slowly and methodically through the garden and life without causing harm, and he has no enemies. Hotspur is a peaceful and caring creature, always on the lookout for other animals in need of help. He is a stable and reassuring constant in the ever changing and dynamic world around him. The “Hotspur and Friends” stories are a gentle reminder to be kind, tolerant and welcoming.

    "Hotspur and Friends: Pollinators" is a gorgeous story about kindness, sharing, and friendship. The original watercolours and illustrations by Scottish artist Colin Thom are beautiful. The fact that all proceeds go to support charity is the cherry on the cake.
