Meet Bernice-the busiest bee in the entire meadow. With her tiny bucket hat, neatly packed pollen pouch, and a to-do list longer than a dragonfly's tail, Bernice is always buzzing from one task to the next. While the other bees take breaks and enjoy the sunshine, Bernice prides herself on never wasting a wingbeat. That is, until the Queen Bee steps in with an unexpected royal decree: Mandatory vacation-three whole days! At first, Bernice doesn't know what to do without her checklist. But as the meadow slows her down, she begins to notice the world she's been flying past-the dancing daisies, the giggling children, the joy of simply being a bee. Through playful language and heartwarming humor, Bernice, the Busiest of Bees reminds readers of all ages that even the hardest workers need time to rest, breathe, and rediscover the wonder around them. ]Perfect for children who love nature-and grown-ups who forget to use their vacation days.
