NEW YORK - ncarol.com -- Author Scott Evan Davis encourages children to embrace their differences and be themselves in his much-anticipated, debut children's book Queen Bea - available on most online retailers today including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. In this first week of Spring, Davis launches his story time book about a young bee who wonders whether she truly belongs in the hive.

With illustrations by Tadgh Bentley, the story is an adaptation of Davis' original musical with the same name, and is rooted in his signature themes of belonging, bravery, and discovering your own inner light. When a bee named Beatrice hatches into a golden hive bursting with buzzing energy, she's shockingly told she's the new queen! How could that be? With so much noise, so many expectations, and what feels like a thousand eyes watching her every move, Bea begins to doubt herself. She sadly leaves the hive in search of quiet, connection and a way to make sense of the world.
