Description

Te Pi Mahaki (Maori Edition) introduces us to Humble Bumble. "Ko Humble Bumble ahau. I am the Humble Bumble. No one is as humble as me," so announces the not-so-humble bumblebee.

This bee proceeds to take credit for all her friends' hard work in collecting pollen. However, when she takes it a step too far, attempting to claim a whole field of flowers for herself, the situation changes.

The Queen Bee herself steps in to deliver a valuable lesson in humility. Humble Bumble discovers the concept of kotahitanga and the benefits of working together as a team.
