Sitting in a beautiful garden, high atop a flower, the impressionable Buzzy is startled to read in the book Learn to Fly very true fact that, “Bumblebees weren’t made to fly.” And suddenly Buzzy, who, like all Bumblebees, liked to fly, doubts now whether he can. “Stranded on top of a flower, Buzzy longed to fly away. His heart still knew how but his head had forgotten the way.” The adventure that ensues challenges Buzzy to overcome obstacles without his wings that he had never before thought possible. He travels over the stream and through the high grass, back home where his parents with love and support tell him, “You’re doubting yourself, fear is blocking the way. Listen to your heart Buzzy, not what others say. Ignore labels and limits, they seldom do good, you start to think you can’t when inside you know you could!” Its vibrant illustrations and clear, thoughtful message make Buzzy the Bumblebee a motivating and heartwarming story for anyone who has ever doubted themselves.
