Description

A beautifully illustrated story book that uses playful characters to teach children how to accept the differences of others A rich and beautifully imagined book that gently taps into every child's longing to belong to show that there is more to us than meets the eye. What do you imagine when you see a bear that wears a long, black cloak, only goes out at night, and doesn't talk to anyone Benjamin the bear feels like everyone else, but his neighbours only see him as a scary vampire. But this kind hearted Bear is just very shy, and can't help but keep to himself - will his neighbours ever move beyond their fear and see Bear for who he really is This heartwarming picture book will leave little readers with the thought that no book should be judged by its cover, and to instead see that it's what's on the inside that truly matters! Imaginative and lyrical, it's a reminder to challenge expectations and celebrate the things that set us apart.
