The true story of a Jewish boy in hiding during World War II, as
told by his teddy bear. I felt Fred’s small hand grab me. He
patted me and whispered, “Bear, I won’t leave you here all by
yourself. You are my best friend.” Based on true events and
beautifully illustrated, this is the story of a friendship that
will last forever—told by Fred’s best friend, his beloved teddy
bear. During World War II, Fred must leave his home and live in
hiding, apart from the rest of his family, but he always keeps Bear
by his side. Bear knows it’s his job to take care of Fred and
make sure he doesn’t feel alone. After the war, Fred and his
family are reunited and leave Holland for the United States. And
still Bear is with him. When Fred grows up, he and Bear part for
the first time when Bear is sent to Yad Vashem—the World
Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel, where this book was first
published—to show the power of hope, friendship, and love.

feeling "so-so" for quite some time. How will this chance encounter
change all their lives? Snoozie, Sunny, and So-So written by Dafna

the trust, hopefulness, and energy that it gives us all!
