From Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih Slaiby, and debut author Theresa AlHayek comes a story about a brave little bee who never gives up.

Buzzy Bee is excited to participate in the Colony's upcoming race. There's just one problem: he isn't very fast! But Buzzy is not a quitter, so he practices tirelessly to get better and better. But on the day of the race, things don't exactly go as expected. Can Buzzy save the day and win the race?

Told in beautiful bouncing rhyme with gorgeous illustrations by Angela Li, Brave Buzzy Bee provides a lesson for young readers about the true meaning of bravery, featuring a character that audiences can't help but fall in love with.

Buzzy Bee is so excited to participate in The Colony Race this year and win the Golden Cup, just like his father and grandfather did before him. The only problem is, he isn't the fastest bee around. Even though he feels down about this, his parents encourage him to keep trying because tomorrow is another day. He tries to stay positive and he's excited that his friend Bumble is in the race with him.

BRAVE BUZZY BEE teaches children the importance of friendship and how winning isn't everything. The illustrations are bright and bold with the golden yellow of the bees. I love the rhyming scheme which makes the words flow smoothly, adding character to the story. I also love how supportive the parents are because it's importance for parents to build their children up no matter what place they come in a race.

Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children aged four and older who like bees, are competitive, and to teach them good values in life. BRAVE BUZZY BEE is an endearing and uplifting children's picture book.
