An Award-Winning Anti-Bullying and Mindfulness Book for Children Ages 4-8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bee-Coming Strong<\/em> tells the enchanting story of Jazianzza, a charming and curious little honeybee who sees the world differently. Born with poor eyesight, she once inadvertently flew into the side of her hive, leaving her with a distinctive corkscrew-shaped antenna. With her new glasses helping her see clearly, Jazi delights in discovering the beauty all around her as she buzzes through the world, forming wonderful friendships with Lydah Butter Fly and Tree, and living her life with wonder, curiosity, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
