Toronto – “We Share The Earth”, the much-anticipated second album written and produced by The Bee’s Knees, is now a 2009 Parents' Choice Approved award winner! For more than 30 years, Parents' Choice has honored the best in children's books, video, toys, audio, software, television and magazines.

Following the success of their Parents’ Choice-award-winning and Independent Music Award-nominated debut album, “What’s the Buzz?!”, The Bee’s Knees continue to deliver original tunes that engage and entertain as much as they educate!

With “We Share The Earth”, the group expands their range of musical styles even further, incorporating Motown/Soul, Blues/Rock, Calypso, Pop, Boogie, Jazz and Reggae.
