Little Bear is worried about starting school. It’s a big change, and he’s scared. He has to be away from Mama Bear, and what if he doesn’t make any friends? Luckily, Mama Bear knows how to make him feel better. With the help of some very special bracelets, Mama Bear helps Little Bear to understand the importance of making a connection with someone. This charming storybook is perfect for kids just starting school, and carries a message we could all stand to remember: When we offer affection, we can make a connection. Let this book be the start of something new: a tradition of love and connection with your child that they will carry with them throughout their lives. 

THIS BOOK AND MATCHING FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS ARE THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND ANY OTHER OCCASION TO CHILD CHANGE AND MILESTONE.
