Tigers and Teddy Bears is a sweet, simple book that reminds readers not to let anyone put them in a metaphorical box. Maybe your child leads with their feelings, but is still thoughtful and snuggly. Maybe they’re gentle and sensitive, but they have big feelings, too. No matter who they are, they’ll find themselves in this book, and learn to spread open-mindedness and inclusivity.

We are all made up of multiple characteristics, and we all live our lives in different ways. It’s up to us to embrace those differences and learn to be friends with the tiger and the teddy bear within ourselves.
