ABOUT :

You don't have to change what you love to be yourself. Help young readers embrace what makes them special with Craig Conover's Patch Work: Bee Brave. Bee Kind. Bee You.

Little Craig loves making things. When his teacher announces they'll have a talent show, he's excited to share what he's proud of most: sewing. After a classmate makes fun of him and a few kids laugh along, Little Craig starts to feel embarrassed and unsure of himself.

With calm support from his family and teacher, Little Craig learns how to steady himself and be true to who he really is. On talent show day, Little Craig even makes a brave choice to help someone else who's struggling.

Little Craig's story gives young readers the tools and encouragement they need to:
• Ask a trusted adult for help
• Bravely stand up for themselves and their peers
• Safely express and navigate their emotions in the moment
• Build confidence and embrace what makes them unique
• Lead the way in showing kindness to others

With Little Craig's help, we can all learn to Bee Brave. Bee Kind. Bee You.
