What About Me? Said the Flea cover

In this charming tale, a little girl searches for story inspiration while a tiny flea hopes to be noticed among larger characters. What About Me? Said the Flea explores imagination.

In What About Me? Said the Flea, readers are introduced to a little girl who, while sitting at her desk, faces the common challenge of finding inspiration for her story. This delightful narrative unfolds in playful, rhyming couplets, making it a joy to read aloud. As she contemplates her characters, a colorful array of potential stars emerges, each vying for her attention and eager to be part of her tale. Among them are a proud unicorn with sparkling hooves, big bears enjoying a picnic, charming llamas in pajamas, and even a stylish sloth. Each character brings its unique charm and personality, creating a vibrant tableau of possibilities.

However, amidst the excitement and noise created by these larger-than-life characters, a tiny flea is hopping around, desperate to be noticed. The flea's plea of What about me? resonates with readers, highlighting the theme of seeking recognition in a world that often overlooks the small and seemingly insignificant. This contrast between the grand and the minuscule serves as a powerful reminder that every voice matters, regardless of size.

Ultimately, What About Me? Said the Flea is a celebration of imagination, determination, and the joy of discovering that great things can come in tiny packages. The story encourages children to embrace their creativity and recognize the value of every character, no matter how small they may be.
