Nectar - The Unique Bumble Bee

Meet Nectar, the product of four year-old Sofia's imagination. After witnessing some children tease her big sister Monica, who has autism, Sofia created Nectar and his cute group of buggy buddies. She used them to process what she had experienced and as a tool to help other children her age learn about the effects of bullying.



Sofia, Monica and their mom, worked together to develop a story at a Pre-K to Second grade level, that teaches the importance of choices. Join Nectar and his pals to learn why it is always best to "BEE NICE".
Nectar ~ The Unique Bumble Bee, is interactive and can easily be used as an enhancement for anti-bullying campaigns. The story promotes responsibility and respect by offering the young audience the opportunity to make the choice to "BEE NICE" to others. This story reinforces working hard, pride in a job well done and believing in oneself no matter what others may say.



Included are discussion questions to engage the listeners in open dialog about different abilities and bullying. Also included are a ribbon and an official member of the BEE NICE CLUB certificate for each child to decorate, sign and keep.



Sofia, Monica and their mom, Susanna hope that Nectar's image and story will captivate and influence children from a young age, to be respectful of other people's feelings. They desire that children not simply learn to accept differences, but to perceive diverseness positively . Everyone can be a friend to others if they choose to!
