Praise

"‘Be kind, don’t kill. That harmless bee is scared, just like you. That tiny thing has real feelings, too!’ This gentle story follows a group of friends as they learn to reconsider their relationship with the small beings of the earth—spiders, ladybugs, bees, and beetles—that are equally deserving of kindness and compassion. This book prompts reflection on how we respond to moments of conflict, fear, or uncertainty." —Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
