A Heart's Journey Home: The Adventures of Eli Benjamin Bear Vol. I

by Hal Price, Michael Bayouth (Illustrator)

Meet the Little Bear with a Big Heart!

Eli Benjamin Bear is born with a heart that needs immediate care. Whisked off to a human hospital for kids, Eli must survive this perilous journey armed only with a special blanket his mother gave him – imbued with his father’s essential life lessons and her own farewell lullaby to bring him home safely.

But Eli’s hopes to return home quickly to his parents “skips a beat” when he must flee with his newfound friend Rascal, a mischievous (and always hungry) raccoon. They’ll need all the help they can get to survive on foot through 600 miles of dangerous forest. And with winter and hibernation fast approaching, it becomes a race against DEEP SLEEP!

A Hearts Journey Home is a book that should be a part of every child’s life. This captivating, fun adventure is written in verse and is woven throughout with wisdom of the ages that act as reminders and tender lessons in living. I have shared this heart warming tale with my grandkids and have also found it to be a springboard for meaningful conversations about making good choices. Just as Mr. Rogers helped kids to love and respect themselves and each other, Hal Price is helping kids in ways that go far beyond bedtime story time. This is a work of love that I plan to give to every child I know.

Of the Seven Books I've Written...This is by far my FAVORITE

Inspired by an unforgettable moment by a Mother whose memory was all but gone when her son read her a Bedtime Story that she read to him 58-years earlier...and she recited EVERY WORD to him...

A must read Family Bedtime Story that introduces children to inner-wisdom concepts in an entertaining and heartwarming manner
