Reviews for If a Bumblebee Lands on Your Toe

This is a beautifully illustrated lyrical book that taps into the idea that we can all be brave in the face of an unexpected challenge. The telling is imaginative and entertaining while the illustrations lend an aura of magic and mystery to the story as a whole. It is a lovely celebration of the strength we all have inside of us when we are thoughtful, reflective and creative as we approach situations in our lives that don't have easy answers. As a professor who emphasizes the value of reflection and critical thinking with learners of all ages, I find this book to be a thoughtful and enchanging addition to any home library or classroom.
