Can a carnivorous plant be kind? Venus says yes!

Venus is a sweet and friendly plant—who just happens to be a carnivore. But unlike others, she refuses to eat flies, no matter what her plant friends say. While the others whisper and spread rumors, Venus stands tall, showing young readers what it means to be confident, kind, and true to yourself.

With playful humor, vibrant illustrations, and a totally unique main character, I Wouldn’t Hurt a Fly introduces important social-emotional learning topics like:

• Self-confidence
• Standing up for yourself
• Celebrating differences
• Positive peer relationships

This funny and empowering picture book is ideal for:

• Storytime at home or school
• Classroom SEL (social-emotional learning) discussions
• Kids ages 4–6 who love silly stories with a heart

For fans of Be Kind, The Day the Crayons Quit, or Strictly No Elephants, this is a must-read for nurturing empathy and confidence in little ones.
