Buzzy: My Adventurous Short Life
By Robert Sweet and Sue Sweet Van Hook
()
About this ebook
I have illustrated the text in a manner to evoke the simple creative joy of what a young boy’s adventurous life was like before there were digital devices. The story also serves to honor all children who have lost their lives too soon and to help siblings and parents of these children focus on celebrating the short and rich lives of their loved ones.
