[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute story about a bear who was distressed because he couldn't march like a soldier, dance like a ballerina, and play music like the monkey. But, as his little boy went to sleep, the teddy discovered his special talent, his ability to hug!

This gentle tale, with its colorful illustrations, reinforces self-acceptance and love. Easy to read-aloud and a calming book before bedtime.
