Mimi is a tiny bee with a tiny voice. The bees need to find a nice spot for a new hive. Mimi finds the perfect place, but when she tries to tell everybee about it, nobee can hear her. It’s time to dance! @eoinkenobi.bsky.social @estrelalourenco.bsky.social

When I was about 12 years old or so, someone in the supermarket I was walking in, said these exact words (in Portuguese). That moment was ingrained in my memory forever. It truly hurted. #comic #comicartist #comicstrips #comicstrip #kidlit #kidlitart
