Denise of Howell, Michigan,  first book and Illustrated by Michael Glenn Monroe of Brighton, Michigan.

"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 in the way.
Listen to your heart Buzzy/ Not what others say.
Ignore labels and limits Buzzy./ They seldom do good.
You start to think, 'I Can't, '/ when you should be thinking, 'I Could.'" "

Its vibrant illustrations and clear, thoughtful message make "Buzzy the Bumblebee" a motivating and heartwarming story for all ages.

"He stopped doubting himself/ And didn't need to know, "Why."
He believed once again/ And was able to FLY."

Illustrations by Michael G. Monroe.
