Sometimes you have something so dear to your heart that you know that even when you are old, you will never really leave it behind you. This is how it is with our young hero’s teddy bear. Do you have something special that you love with all your heart? If you do, then that is a good thing, because love is always a very good thing. Hold it dear. Hold it close. Enjoy the story and illustrations by Penelope Dyan and try to make a book of your own about your favorite things or things. What or who is in your heart about whom you can write a story and make a book? Written and illustrated by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, for her very own brother, John; this book is meant to teach children not only how to read as it develops reading skills through repetition and rhyme, but also to remind us about other things in life, things for which we have special feelings, and to tell children that all of these feelings are okay, because feelings of all sorts are okay; and love is the very best feeling of all.
