This book is a thoughtful, introspective work using fairy tales and poetry to develop inner child issues. It opens with a story in fable form about a wasp that lives with bees or tries to live with bees. His name is Wally and he is a gentle wasp, obviously because there don't seem to be other wasps around him. Wally mimics the behaviours of his friends the bees. But, poor Wally can't seem to get any nectar from the flowers like the other bees. Well, Wally tries and tries but nothing works for him. One day one of the worker bees feeling sorry for Wally tells him about the drone dance for the queen. Wally plans to try. On the day of the dance while the queen soars and the drones fight for her, Wally sees a bear making for the hive. Wally doesn't want the bear to destroy his queen's carefully prepared beds for her be es and rushes after him.
The bear swats poor Wally but gets stung viciously in doing so. The hive is saved, but Wally lays prone. The queen tries to save Wally's life but can't. And, in his sacrifice Wally has for the last part of his life been one of the bees, his friends. There are other poems and tales in poems about friendship and love. And that is what makes this book a trully remarkable find and purchase. The book sells online in Amazon.com and can also be purchased directly from the author by emailing her at noras@zoominternet.net for a signed, personally addressed book.
