About the title

BEE Careful is a heartwarming children’s picture book that follows three young bees—Brittany, Breauna, and Braden—on an unforgettable journey through the meadow and forest. One sunny morning, Brittany finds herself sneezing again and again. Concerned, she asks the Queen Bee for help and learns about a special sunflower said to be found somewhere beyond the safety of the hive. Although warned that the forest can be dangerous, Brittany’s brother and sister choose to support her and quietly set off together to search for the flower. Along the way, the bees encounter a variety of forest animals, including a mosquito, a frog, a rabbit, a fox, and a wise old owl. Each meeting brings new challenges and lessons, encouraging the bees to be polite, patient, and brave. Through moments of uncertainty and reassurance, the siblings learn that caring for one another and listening to guidance can help them face even the most unfamiliar paths. With engaging, colorful illustrations and gentle storytelling, BEE Careful emphasizes themes of kindness, teamwork, perseverance, and family support. The story invites young readers to explore nature while learning about empathy and cooperation in a way that feels accessible and reassuring. Ideal for children ages 4–8, BEE Careful is well suited for read-aloud sessions, classrooms, and library collections. It offers a thoughtful, comforting adventure that encourages children to help others, face fears together, and believe in the strength found in family and friendship.

Peaches Can Do It!

Daphanny Baker

From abandoned to anointed—Peaches never stopped believing. When tragedy stole her mother and uncertainty left her knocking on strangersʼ doors, young Peaches could have given up. But instead, she discovered something stronger than fear—faith. Taken in by a loving couple who raised her in the church, Peaches began a lifelong journey marked by heartbreak, healing, and ultimately, hope. In Peaches Can Do It!, Daphanny C. Baker shares her powerful, true story of resilience. From singing in the choir to preaching from the pulpit, from mothering five children to becoming a four-time author, Peaches rose because she believed those four words: I can do it. This inspiring memoir will uplift anyone facing loss, rejection, or the weight of starting over. If youʼve ever wondered whether your beginning defines your end, let Peaches remind you: with God, youʼre never alone—and youʼre more than capable.
