Jay Bubblebee


Book Description

This book will teach your child to soar in life and in business! Jay Bubblebee is a childhood underdog story with a timely message: Children don't have to wait until they are older to "beecome" greatness! Ten-year-old Jay Bubblebee is a bee...without wings. While that disadvantage would undoubtedly keep an average bee down, Jay Bubblebee wants nothing more than to contribute to his household's income by working in the family's shoe business, an ambition his dad has mixed feelings about. ("You're just a kid," he tells Jay.) But when Jay's dad "mysteriously" disappears, the bullying loan shark who financed their business arrives to demand full payment from Jay and his little sister, Julie--threatening to take the family's house if they can't come up with the money. Now it's up to Jay to single handely run his dad's shoe business, save the family's home and rescue his father from the evil bully's clutches--all before it's too late. Authored by 12-year-old Kyle Dixon III, the Jay Bubblebee series is proof positive of the power, potential, and entrepreneurial spirit that each child innately possesses. Following his mom's decision to leave a well-paying job to start her own business and spend more time with him, Kyle saw the need for a new type of children's book: one that celebrates childhood strength, even in the face of adversity.
