Bear is different.
When he dreams of flying into space,
The other bears laugh.
In space he’s happy,
but lonely,
until something extraordinary happens.
A story about being different and finding friends who love you just the way you are.
Bear’s story began at a SCWBI sketch and scribble - How wonderful that he is now in the hearts and minds of children across the world!
