Rosie the Red Bee
by Michelle Thomason


Rosie is a bumblebee. But Rosie isn’t like other bees—she’s RED! Being different from all the other bees around her is challenging and Rosie comes up with lots of unique ways to try and fit in but nothing she does works. Tired of trying all the effort and the other bees’ teasing, Rosie decides there’s only one thing left to do: run away. On her adventure she meets a wise older bee who offers her some advice. But will it be enough to solve her problem? Rosie the Red Bee will appeal to young readers ages 3–7.


"Rosie is a delightfully different bee. Her story will bring new meaning to "being different"." —Michelle's mom "A beautifully written and illustrated book with such an important message! Every one of us is individual and unique. We can all learn from Rosie's journey." —Gwyneth's mom
