Sophia Wannabee

"Cheers to Sophia Wannabee! Never has a book grabbed our souls nor celebrated the champion in ALL of us as Kristen Martins’ brilliant book. As an educator, mental health counselor, parent and speaker, it is a story of the advocacy of the human spirit and a MUST read!”

Sophia Wannabee is a sweet, whimsical little honeybee who is confused about where she belongs in the busy, hardworking world of honeybees. Like many children in today’s world, Sophia compares herself to others and desires to be anyone but who she was meant to be. This, of course, makes her very unhappy. If that weren’t enough, Sophia, the promising winner of the 2nd grade annual spelling bee, gets knocked down to 2nd place by Sally Sweet Bee who spells "belonged" correctly. It isn’t until all of the other honeybees become sickened with a rare form of hives that Sophia finally discovers who she was always meant to be. Young readers will follow Sophia as she transforms her life from a very unhappy honeybee to a bee that feels validation and love just by being herself.
