About The Book

On a high, high shelf in the toyshop sits a little brown bear with a bag of golden hearts. He longs for the day that his special child will come into the shop and take him home but, sadly, that day never comes and so the shopkeeper gives him away free with another toy. Discarded in the gutter, the little brown bear begins his quest to find his perfect child. Will anyone love a little brown bear with golden hearts?

A heart-warming story about friendship and belonging, illustrated by the award-winning Paul Howard.
