A story about courage, confidence, and kindness
Little Craig loves sewing and is excited to share his talent at school. But when a classmate teases him, he begins to question what makes him different and what he loves.
With support from the people who care about him, Little Craig learns to believe in himself, stay true to who he is, and choose kindness — even when it’s hard.

- Celebrate What Makes You Unique
- Choose Kindness
Includes a Special Note from Bullying Prevention Scholar Dr. Chad Rose
Patch Work includes a special note from bullying-prevention scholar Dr. Chad A. Rose, professor and Director of the Bullying Prevention Center at the University of South Carolina. For more than 20 years, Dr. Rose has studied how schools and communities can help children feel safe, valued, and included. His research shows that early conversations about kindness, belonging, friendship, and self-confidence matter.
A personal story with a message for every child
Craig wrote Patch Work: Bee Brave. Bee Kind. Bee You. to share a message that is deeply personal to him: you should never have to hide what you love in order to belong.
Long before Southern Charm and Sewing Down South, Craig was a kid who knew what it felt like to be picked on. Over time, sewing became more than a hobby — it became a way to create, connect, and feel like himself again.
With his debut children’s book, Craig hopes to give children a story that reminds them their differences are not something to hide. They can be brave. They can be kind. And they can be proud of who they are.
