Colette is a solitary bee who prefers her own company and takes pride in handling daily life alone. She manages tasks, the elements, and solo outings by herself. But when plans go wrong, she finds that other insects can matter. They are also there when she has a story to share. Colorful illustrations accompany Colette’s encounter with the limits of doing everything independently.
