Be WHOO You Are

About the Book

Ollie the Owl wonders what his true purpose will be. Will he be like the busy bees who cultivate sweet nectar and nature’s beauty or will he be like the industrious beavers who build protective dams and sturdy structures? When Ollie’s dear friend Betty the Bunny chases a butterfly and loses her way, Ollie wants to help. That’s when Fred the Firefly appears, casting a warm, guiding glow. Together, Fred and Ollie embark on a mission to reunite Betty with her family before darkness envelops the land. When Ollie spreads his wings, he discovers his unique talents for kindness, listening intently, and lending a helping hand—or wing—to those in need. Ollie listens to his heart and realizes that he’s already exactly WHOO he’s meant to be!
