The teddy bears' picnic gets a modern twist in this warm and fuzzy picture book about a young teddy bear who learns that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Ollie is a regular bear with a regular job. He listens to his girl's stories about her days, he snuggles her to sleep and he is there waiting when she gets home from school. Just your typical teddy bear stuff. So when he is whisked away to the annual teddy bears' picnic, he feels insignificant compared to the other bears who do daring and daunting things: sleepovers, hospital stays--even a night in the lost and found! After small talk with a regional stuffing manager, a department of cuddling official and a stitchery inspector; a stop at the snack table; and even some team building activities, it's time for the teddy bear service awards . . . and Ollie feels even more small and unimportant. But he soon learns that it's not just the big things that matter, it's the little things too. While parents will love the tongue-in-cheek office-party details, kids and parents alike will fall in love with Ollie: a sweet bear who discovers that his love for his girl makes him very special indeed.

If you ran away, you'd show your family that you can't be pushed around,' Merryl challenged me. 'It doesn't have to be forever - just for a few days. But I bet you haven't got the guts to stand up to them.' I knew what she was trying to do. I wanted to resist and be sensible, but part of me was drawn to her logic, and the rest of me was drawn to her rebellious spirit. I thought again of the way Auntie Eddy said Merryl was like my mother. Mum would've run away for sure. When Beatrice is forced to leave her beloved Wilson Park and her offbeat friend, Marty, she sets out to claim her independence. On the way, she discovers the shocking truth about her mother, and learns what friendship and family really mean. Change is hard, but as her Aunty Olivia tells her, sometimes when you lose something, you gain something else.
