According to the laws of aerodynamics, bumble bees should not be able to fly. Their wings should not be able to support their bodies. But the bumble bee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway. My children's book, Fly High Bumble Bee is based on this theory.

Bumble Bee, the main character, encounters other story characters that try to discourage him from flying. For a while he remains strong and positive. But eventually the negativity wears him down. Finally, his inner strength fades and he loses his belief and self-confidence. But just then granddaddy long legs came along with words of encouragement. It is all Bumble needs. His belief and confidence return and he is off flying once again.

Fly High Bumble Bee emphasizes several important lessons. It teaches that belief is powerful. It also illustrates the importance of having a positive attitude, for it not only helps you but also affects others around you. In a sometimes negative world, as children grow up they are often faced with uncertainty about who they are and what they can do or become. It is sometimes easier to not attempt greatness at all than to face opposition, such as heckling and discouragement that frequently comes from others. Reading Fly High Bumble Bee to your child will plant seeds to help them grow into healthy individuals... mentally and emotionally. And it is written in a fun, rhyming format so children will want to read it over and over again.
