Big Eyed Bee

Reach for this book when your child excels in school or sports but struggles to play well with others, often prioritizing being first or best over being a friend. Sophy is a brilliant, high achieving bee who believes her speed and intelligence mean she does not need her hive. However, her quest for a rare flower leads her into a dangerous situation where her solo talents are not enough to save her. This gentle story for children ages 3 to 7 explores the limitations of independence and the deep necessity of belonging. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to validate their child's unique skills while teaching the essential lesson that we are stronger, safer, and happier when we work together as a team.
