What will Djojj get to experience today?
The bumblebee Djojj lives in the old oak tree in the Blomning family’s garden. He is kind, a little shy, and always wants to help his friends. His favorite thing is to suck nectar and buzz around, but somehow he always ends up on new adventures.
One day, a deer stands in the middle of the meadow and plans to eat every single flower. Then the bees won’t get any nectar, and there will be no honey. What if the bees starve to death? Now Djojj must help his friends. But how can he save the flower meadow? He flies to the frog Kalle Kväk who might have a good suggestion…
With over 11 million listens per month, children all over Sweden fall asleep every night to Djojj’s lullabies and stories. The reading adventure The bumblebee Djojj saves the flower meadow is the first part in a planned book series for children aged 3–6 years.
In the stories about Djojj, the small humble bumblebee takes listeners on a journey through the magic of nature with themes about friendship, loneliness, being shy, and daring to go on adventures. The stories aim to teach children to feel empathy for nature and all living creatures, big and small. The first story in book form is no exception.
The author is the actor, playwright, and director Staffan Götestam. A creative and cultural all-rounder who also founded Junibacken in Stockholm and Funnys Äventyr, a cultural center for children in Malmö. Louise Jacobsson is the creator of all illustrations in Djojj’s universe.
