A Story about friendship, self-esteem, and acceptance. Can Number 42 find a friend who will accept him for who he is? Number 42 is a very lonely little mosquito. He just wants to find a friend who will treat him with kindness. But he discovers the sad truth, after several attempts to befriend individuals, that he is judged by WHAT he is on the outside rather than WHO he is on the inside. Will he ever find someone who will see beyond his appearance and love him for his personality?

The Lonely Little Mosquito . . . puts into words the very difficult world children must navigate when trying to find a true friend. And the ease one feels when they stumble into that perfect friendship. It also teaches children the value of not judging those they encounter by their looks or by pre-conceived knowledge, but rather about finding out the facts or truth before making up their minds about individuals, animals, and bugs.
