Parents will be delighted to meet the newest “character who empowers character in kids”! [*Buzzin’ About Cousins*](https://shop.aer.io/PerpetuaLuxBooks/p/Buzzin_About_Cousins_The_Virtue_Story_of_Inspirati/9798986903705-7956?collection=Childrens_Books-176996) tells the story of Mary and Elizabeth at the Visitation and the life of John as a little child. Just like the rest of the books in the TVH series for kids 3-8, [Buzzin’ About Cousins](https://shop.aer.io/PerpetuaLuxBooks/p/Buzzin_About_Cousins_The_Virtue_Story_of_Inspirati/9798986903705-7956?collection=Childrens_Books-176996) helps children imagine one of the Mysteries of the Rosary and helps them be inspired to think and pray, do and say … virtue. The story is told from the perspective of a lovable animal or insect, this time a honeybee named Devoree. She highlights the virtue of inspiration, in which we energize the faith, virtue or enthusiasm of others.
