 Adventures of Birdham Bear

Children’s book illustration/character design

Written by Lynne Healy.

Birdham Bear is a very special teddy bear. He has just been knitted and is now in a hurry to discover the world!

Join him on his first adventure – a trip across the field beyond the garden to visit the oak tree. Meet his new friends Mr Fox and Quercus the oak fairy, and discover the wonder of nature and the fairy realm. As Birdham discovers his unique gift for the world, children will be inspired to think about theirs.

Birdham Bear’s First Christmas

Birdham Bear’s First Christmas is a simply lovely tale of a little bear who wants to make sure everyone gets to enjoy Christmas. He even makes sure Douglas, the Christmas Fir, is happy, and especially looks after his Fox friends.

Douglas has another secret too, and through that Birdham Bear learns a lot about what Christmas can mean to everyone. Does he stay awake long enough to meet Father Christmas? You’ll have to read it to find out! The perfect Christmas bedtime story, Birdham Bear’s First Christmas will go down with little (and big!) kids alike.
