ABOUT THE BOOK

The little misp doesn’t have an easy start into insect life when one day she hatches all alone from her egg in a large meadow. Something is different about her, and nobody really knows what to make of the little creature.
You don’t know what a misp is? Well, at first nobody in the meadow knows either, which is why the other insects are pretty mean to her. Flying with a gently bent wing is exhausting, and the little insect girl feels completely lost.
Only when the bumblebee Brumsel is blown in front of her feet by a sudden summer storm, things take a heartwarming turn. Through a pure act of kindness and friendship, everything turns out well for the little misp…

A touching read-aloud book about diversity, inclusion, and celebrating differences.
Perfect for kids aged 3–8. Includes creative coloring pages!

Following its success in the German-speaking market (as „Die kleine Müspe“), Edition TEXTZIRKUS is proud to bring this heartwarming, beautifully illustrated picture book about tolerance, unexpected friendship and embracing uniqueness to English-speaking families worldwide.
