Hannah the Honeybee Has a Dream Lyn Rose Ram

"Hannah the Honeybee Has a Dream" is the first picture book in the series "Hannah the Honeybee and Friends" about the life and adventures of Hannah and her best friend, Collette. This first book is about 'making a difference, ' with the aim to show my readers that we can all contribute to society in our own way. We don't have to be rich or famous or like anyone else to make a difference. It is more important to be ourselves.

Writing about bees is intentional, with the aim of teaching my readers the importance of bees to our planet. The more research I did, the more I fell in love with these tiny, hardworking creatures! I hope that the same love will develop in my young readers.

Hannah, my main character, is always there if anyone needs a helping hand or an advocate. Her best friend, Collette, is never far from her side. Collette can be absent-minded, and easily distracted, but she is also kind, loyal and friendly to everyone she meets which is why she is Hannah's closest friend. As worker bees, these two friends are busy from morning to night. They head out at first light to collect pollen and nectar. They build and protect the hive. Life couldn't be better. So what could have happened for Hannah to be so downcast today? Why would she want to eat on her own and head straight to bed? Collette certainly has no idea!

Thankfully, Hannah dreams tonight and everything becomes clear to her. What a difference a day can make.
