Description
Bomars Ventures Marie And Mr. Bee by Margaret Welwood, Coralie Rycroft
Marie is a happy little girl who lives in a cabin in the woods, working and playing with her forest friends . . . until a not-so-busy bee entices her to neglect her work! Compassion, forgiveness, and a forever friendship follow. By the following summer, Mr. Bee is too old to fly. But every night, Marie lifts her little friend onto her lap and reads to him from their very own storybook. Marie uses a wheelchair, which is clear from the pictures. However, there is only one reference to the chair in the text--when she wheels the ailing Mr. Bee back to her cabin after his expulsion from the hive. Some people appreciate the fact that a disability is present without being the focus. Others are pleased to see someone with a disability in the role of rescuer. Also available in Proverbs 12:14b Version, with Bible verse references on the last page.
