Reach for this book when your child is bursting with a discovery that feels monumental to them, or when they are navigating the pride and pressure of being different. It is a charming choice for children who find companionship in the natural world and for parents who want to foster a sense of wonder about the quirky, unsung marvels of life. The story follows Harry and his exceptionally large bee friend as they journey to a museum to confirm what Harry already suspects: his friend is truly one of a kind. While the premise is delightfully absurd, the heart of the book explores the loyalty between a human and a creature and the validation that comes from having one's specialness recognized by the world. Written with a droll, British wit, it is a gentle read that honors a child's perspective on what makes something important. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate understated humor and the idea that the best adventures often start in your own backyard.
