Most of us have cherished memories of a grandparent, parent, or close adult sweeping us up into a big warm Bear Hug and making us feel safe and loved. These memories are integral parts of our life stories. Nicholas Oldland understands the significance of a Bear Hug and writes a poignant and thoughtful story about a Bear who likes to hug everyone and everything.

From the first page of this story, the young reader feels warmth, love, and acceptance of all the world’s creatures. It begins,” There once was a bear so filled with happiness that whenever he roamed the forest and came across another living thing, he would give it a hug.” The author’s illustrations are beautiful in their simplicity and the storyline teaches children to cherish all creatures.

The best part of the story is the ending, where your young one learns that love is the best way to approach a problem if you want a positive solution. This book is a must read for any parent who wants to teach their child to cherish every living thing around them.
