Cynthia Zordich, wife of former NFL Safety and current coach Michael Zordich, Co-Author of When The Clock Runs Out, Founder of Thread and Editor of The Playbook - takes an accidental turn and writes a children’s book.
“A bee in a matchbox tells the story of an unlikely friendship unfolding right before your eyes,” said Zordich. “It is playful and courageous and displays vulnerability, compassion, loyalty, and vigilance with a message that I am all too happy to share. When I visit schools and read to the children my favorite part is the conversation A Bee in a Matchbox provokes. Discussions about fear and feelings, friendship and acceptance, kindness and compassion. And there are many shares about stinging bees and barking dogs! I also love to hand out little bees to the kids and they immediately begin to nurture them - allowing their compassion to override their original fear. I love this little nudge. Each day welcomes the opportunity to engage. Every day we teach and we learn—and often our lessons come from the innocence of children.”
