Bennie Bear has a simple dream . . . all he wants is a child to love him. Even though other bears think it may never happen, Bennie never gives up. This lovable bear is full of happiness and positive energy, and readers will instantly bond with him, cheer him on, and understand the importance of perseverance and love. “I love, love, love children’s literature that comes to life, and Rachel LaMar goes one step further in bringing teddy bears to life in her book, Bennie Bear’s Dream. This book is un‘bear’ably loveable” (Dr. Simon Mills, children’s book author). “What a delightful and sweet story! Bennie is dreaming of his forever child, much like every foster child is dreaming of a forever home. In the end, all we ever need is someone to love” (Arlene Lieberman, chairman of the board for Walden Family Services, a Southern California foster care and adoption agency).
