Gold Glitter in the Air - Begins with Harriet pacing in her bedroom full of worries. She dreams of flying with the other bumblebees, but she is afraid to fly. Harriet wonders: What if my wings don’t work? What if I fall? What if everyone laughs at me? Her fears are preventing her from being who she is meant to be, a pollinating bumblebee. Her patient mother and the wise Queen help Harriet learn a lifelong lesson: If she believes in herself, then she can do anything! With this belief tucked in her heart, Harriet’s adventure begins.
