Meet Billie the Blue Banded Bee - small in size but buzzing with big purpose! Billie is on a mission to find his way home through the once-vast Victorian grasslands. But with less than 1% of Victoria’s Volcanic Plain grasslands remaining, his journey is more important than ever.

These endangered grasslands are home to a vibrant tapestry of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth - and Billie needs your help to protect them.

More than just a beautifully told story, Billie is a powerful educational resource designed to inspire curiosity, empathy, and action. The Billie Educational Resource Pack includes a rich e-book, curriculum-linked lesson plans for junior and senior students, and hands-on activities that bring Billie’s world - and its challenges - to life in the classroom.

This book came to life thanks to a remarkable group of people who generously shared their time, knowledge, and love for grasslands - from ecologists and grassland experts to landscape architects, nature communicators, passionate primary school teachers, and librarians. Their insights helped shape a story that’s not only engaging but deeply rooted in truth and care.

Join us in making a difference. All profits go directly to the Grassy Plains Network - a dedicated group working to protect and restore Australia’s rare and precious grasslands.

Help Billie find his way home - and become part of a movement to protect our wildest, most wonderful places.
