A picture book based on an award-winning song by Inuit singer-songwriter Becky Han. When the narrator of this fun and silly book is startled by the buzzing of a bee, she sets off on an adventure that sees her running from community to community, trying to lose her buzzing companion.
When she has run clear across Nunavut, she finally realizes that perhaps this little bee isn't such a fearsome foe after all! (From Inhabit Media)
