I Wouldn't Hurt a Fly
A fun and humorous story about a carnivorous plant who wouldn’t eat flies
Beyond any doubt, Venus would not harm a fly. But for a carnivorous plant, not eating flies is a little…fishy. It just doesn’t seem possible. Other plants question her choices and spread rumors about her. How will Venus handle the criticism and will she be able to stand up for herself? A humourous story that tackles themes of self-confidence, assertiveness, and the respect for differences.
