A bubbly neurodiverse-centered story about getting boring tasks done, even when you REALLY don't want to!Brought to life by buzzingly brilliant author George Kirk and illustrator Ana Gómez.Bessie's head is full of bees, absolutely bubbling with them. Together, Bessie and her bees spend their days getting into all sorts of things—games, books, and mischief. On this day, Granny thinks they need to get into something else—THE BATH!"But I don't want to get in the bath," Bessie cries. "Bathtime is really, REALLY boring!"Just then, Bessie remembers she needs to check the strawberry bushes. . . and that Dinosaur must play in the mud. . . and she has to make a surprise cake for Granny. And now, Bessie and her bees are VERY MESSY—a kind of messy that only a bath can fix!Will Bessie and her bees find the fun in bathtime after all? Perhaps all it takes is some imagination (and bubbles). . .This heartwarming story offers help when faced with task avoidance—delaying, resisting, or ignoring boring and difficult tasks, even if they're important!
