Zee Zee is head and shoulders above her friends when it comes to flying the fastest. Can she find the balance between celebrating her talents, and humility?

Zee Zee The Humble Bee is a fun rhyming story about the joys of learning, teaching, and being humble.

The author, Michael Obiora explains about the writing of this book: When I was eleven years old I was walking down the corridor of my secondary school. My Head of Year was walking towards me. When our eyes met she said to me, “Michael, why are you smiling? The cameras aren’t rolling now.” She was referring to the fact that I was now an established child star having already been in Grange Hill for two years at that point. I still remember exactly how I felt when she said this to me. Her comment devastated me. I couldn’t understand how a grown-up could say something so mean to a happy child. Now I am a parent I’m mindful of encouraging all children to follow their dreams, and to never dim their light to let others shine. Our childhood years are our formative years. Let children fly. You can teach humility in a loving way.
