Bessie's Bathtime

Bessie's Bathtime Synopsis

A bubbly neurodiverse-centred story about getting boring tasks done, even when you REALLY don't want to! Brought to life by buzzingly brilliant author, George Kirk, and illustrator, Ana Gómez.

Bessie's head is full of bees, absolutely bubbling with them. Together, Bessie and her bees spend their days getting into all sorts of things - games, books, and ESPECIALLY mischief. On this particular day, Granny thinks they need to get into something else - THE BATH!

"But I don't want to get in the bath," Bessie cries. "Bathtime is really, REALLY boring!"

Just then, Bessie remembers she NEEDS TO check the strawberry bushes. . . and that Dinosaur MUST play in the mud. . . and that she HAS TO make a surprise cake for Granny. And now, Bessie and her bees are VERY MESSY - a kind of messy that only a bath can fix! Can Bessie and her bees find the fun in bathtime after all? Perhaps all it takes is some imagination (and bubbles). . .

Bessie and her bees give voice to neurodiverse experiences through the visual metaphor of bees and also offer a universal message for all readers about finding the fun in getting tasks done. Read Bessie's other adventure, Bessie's Bees.
