What happens when something shiny isn’t sweet?

When HoneyBee Havyn and Bella the Bee flutter across the long winding bridge toward the grand Wompaloon Feast, they know one thing for certain.......... the Wompaloon King cannot be trusted.

His tables sparkle.
His cakes shimmer.
His honey gleams like gold.

But the King is famous for his tricks.
With riddles wrapped in promises and sweets that vanish into air, the Wompaloon King delights in clever mischief. Will the bees fall for his glittering feast… or will courage and kindness prove stronger than trickery?

In this whimsical rhyming adventure, children will discover:

• The power of listening to wise warnings
• How to recognize when something feels “too good to be true”
• The strength found in standing firm with kindness
• That truth is sweeter than any sparkling illusion

Perfect for ages 3–8, HoneyBee Havyn and the Wompaloon King is a heartwarming story about bravery, discernment, and the transforming power of gentle honesty.

Because sometimes the bravest thing you can bring…
is real golden honey.

This mission is personal to me.

The library raised me.

It was a place where I could open a book and suddenly be somewhere else. I could travel to new worlds, meet new people I had never known, solve mysteries, go on adventures, and let my imagination run wild, all without leaving my community.

That's the magic of books.

You don't need a plane ticket to explore.
You don't need a passport to travel.
Sometimes, all you need is a book and a little imagination.

That's why creating adventures for children through stories, activities, and imagination means so much to me. I want kids to discover the same feeling of opening a book and thinking:

"Where will this story take me?"

Because a child who learns to love reading doesn't just learn to read.

They discover a whole world waiting for them.

Read more books. No passport required.

And if you grew up with the library too...you know exactly what I mean.
