Meet Beatrice, a little bumblebee with a very big worry.

While all the other bees seem to buzz faster, work harder, and zoom bravely through the night, Beatrice feels… well, a bit ordinary. She can’t fly the fastest, she’s not the strongest, and nighttime makes her wings wobble with uncertainty.

While being bummed out, her best friend Bobbi has an idea. A trip to the apple orchard reminds Beatrice that special things happen when you’re comfortable being yourself.

Full of warmth, whimsy, and gentle humor, Beatrice the Bewildered Bumblebee is a heartwarming story for children who are learning that their own special spark is what makes them extraordinary.

Meet The Author

It all began for me over 20 years ago during a hard time in my life, and an actual dream. I’ve had very few dreams that felt like a message from God, but this one was simple and weird, and felt like a message. I woke up one morning after a dream about a bee, I can’t even remember the details, but I sat on the edge of the bed and thought, “what was that all about?” I remember thinking it meant don’t swat the bees, because when I do swat at them I could get stung. There is a lot more to this story, but basically over 20 years ago the bee became a part of my life and I am here to tell my story about Beatrice the Bewildered Bumblebee, my first children’s book. I hope that it inspires young children to embrace who they are, and like me(took me way more years) accept that I am unique and my abilities and traits and desire to create is sometimes bewildering and scary, but a gift and something I believe is worth sharing. And this is who I was meant to “Bee”.
