Colette, the solitary bee
Author(s):
Sénéchal, Jean-François, 1976-
Ostiguy, Catherine,
Description:
Anyone can make it on their own -- just ask Colette! She's a solitary bee who enjoys her own company more than anyone else's and thrives on her independence. Colette can do just about anything by herself: day-to-day tasks, cleverly navigating the elements, and even setting out on solo adventures. But sometimes, even the most solitary bees need other insects around -- like when things don't go as planned, or when they've simply got a good story to tell. Colette: The Solitary Bee is an adorable, heartwarming tale that shows us we can be proud to do things by ourselves, but it's also pretty great to share our lived experiences with those around us.
