How Butterbees Came to Bee!

by Lana Grimm

"A handsome butterfly floated by, Curious to see what's up and why. Little Miss Bee, what is your name? What are you doing, playing a game?" ...And so begins this enchanting tale of love and friendship, set in the mystical red rocks of Sedona, Arizona.

Their precious union results in the birth of the magical Butterbees(R), Bizzy and Buzzy Butterbee twins. The artistic mastery of retired Disney artist and animator, David Michener, breathes life into this fable's wondrous characters. Butterbees inspire children to tap into their inate gifts and talents, and to accept themselves and others for who they are and teach positive bee attitudes such as bee happy, bee kind and bee you! They offer a timely and timeless message of tolerance, unity and respect for all livng beings.

This is a longer rhyming book. Published by Bee Unlimited. I bee - lieve this is actually a self published book. I picked it up at an second hand book store because it was signed. The end papers are honey combed three dimensional. It was edited by the now agent Karen Grencik.
This is definitely a fictional tale with some science but the underlying message is about being the best you can and using your special talents. I think.

This book teaches tolerance for the youngest of people but in a way that everyone can relate to. Lana and Tania Bloch have done an amazing job! One day, I hope it will become a film or TV show, and reach even more people with the "Beatitudes" built in to the children's rhymes.
