Book's Powerful Theme: Knowledge is Power

The book's child narrator overcomes fear of the unknown by using her library's resources and staff to demystify the carpenter bee. Empowered and informed, she is able to appreciate the small, hardworking, injured creature and see its true beauty. Provides opportunity for educators, parents, and children to discuss how giving to and caring for others adds meaning and purpose to our lives.
