She overcomes challenges similar to those humans face and is lucky enough to have sympathetic teachers as advisors. They advise her to have self-affirming thoughts and actions and they teach her healing breathing and meditation. The author Anandamayi Baker has researched honeybee natural history and the story gains interest being told from an insect point of view, encountering butterflies and hornets as well as other honeybees. Humans, although not part of the story, are illustrated as acting out breathing and meditation activities because, after all, the advice to Jazianzza is quite sound for humans too.

Jazianzza is concerned, as is the rest of her hive,<br>with the dwindling number of flowers to drink from and must cope with the bullying ways of her sister Sisizza and her<br>gang. But luckily, MamaQueenzieBee (aka MamaQB) is there to help Jazianzza learn new ways to handle stress<br>from without and within. MamaQB suggests that, just as bees shake off water from their wings, so should Jazianzza<br>\u201cshake off any sadness you feel. Shake off anything that isn\u2019t you. Just because they\u2019re not always happy doesn\u2019t<br>mean you should be the same way. Be Jazianzza in your own beautiful way.\u201d The young bee later learns breathing<br>techniques via a pollen ball placed on her stomach in order to emphasize the slow in-and-out breaths used to calm<br>down. Everything Jazianzza discovers comes into play when she unexpectedly faces a hornets\u2019 nest and must save<br>her hive. Baker\u2019s tale provides a compelling introduction to relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and<br>meditation\u2014with readers being encouraged to try Jazianzza\u2019s methods themselves\u2014as well as different ways to<br>approach bullying and learning to believe in yourself.

The story follows the adventures of Jazianzza Buzzabee, a curious honeybee who lives in a tree trunk with her family. Despite coming from a large family, Jazianzza often feels left out because her brothers and sisters bully her for wearing eyeglasses and having an antenna shaped like a corkscrew. This leads to feelings of insecurity. However, with the help of her new friend Lydah the butterfly, guidance from her tree friend, and her mother, MamaQueenzieBee (MamaQB), Jazianzza begins to grow confident and learns to accept herself. They teach her practical tools for coping with her insecurities. When faced with danger, Jazianzza finds the inner strength to confront her fears and bring joy to her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bee-Coming Strong<\/em> is a heartfelt and educational book that imparts valuable lessons about self-acceptance, resilience, kindness, and embracing one\u2019s uniqueness. Through Jazianzza\u2019s interactions with friends like Lydah and the wise counsel of her mother, young readers learn practical techniques such as breathing exercises and positive self-talk to manage fears and teasing. Anandamayi Baker\u2019s engaging narrative promotes mindfulness, emotional strength, and empathy. The book also includes lessons about the butterfly life cycle, pollination, the queen bee\u2019s role, and plant growth. The colorful illustrations vividly depict the various characters in the story. <em>Bee-Coming Strong<\/em> is an enjoyable read filled with empowering lessons that will help children develop a love for nature while boosting their self-esteem and bravery to explore the world.
