Teddy is a young bear who loses his father unexpectedly and struggles through the grief process. He is finally able to find a balance between the memories of the past and having happiness in the present. Activities and advice for parents and professionals are included in the book. Many children receive their first stuffed animal in the shape of a Teddy bear. Teddy bears have become cultural representations of warmth, family and love. Ms. Virginia Ulch has adeptly incorporated this icon into her story of real life, love and loss. All of the emotions we feel regarding family, identity, attachment, loss, anger, grieving, and remembrance are brought to the surface through her story of Teddy. Her prose blends seamlessly and enhances the wonderful candid photography of her father. The readability is suitable for very young children. This book guides the reader through the emotional depth of the loss of a parent, to understand that life renews itself in all of us, given time and understanding. You will thoroughly enjoy the journey of Teddy with his family in the wild. Just be certain that your child has their favorite teddy bear in their grasp while reading this delightful story with you. Sincerely, Scott Gill School Psychologist 12/06 Wonderful book. Superb resource for anyone that works with children who have experienced a death. Mr. Burkert's photography is splendid. Mrs. Ulch has covered all areas of concern that children have when someone dies. Her book answers children's questions in a non threatening context. Children are allowed to express their concerns and feelings about death as they read the book. The activities at the end of the book are well thought out and easy to use. Thechildren I have used the book with say they like it and it answered questions that they didn't know how to ask or were too embarrassed to ask. Carlotta Clink, M.

Honeybees have been a part of Virginia's history since they arrived with the first European colonists. They were Jamestown's valuable addition and a Civil War soldier's sweet if painful temptation, and they served as homefront heroes when the world wars caused sugar shortages. In recent years, mead has seen a resurgence along with beekeeping and has claimed a place as a craft beverage in the Commonwealth. Join author Virginia Johnson to hunt escaped swarms flying wild in the forests, visit modern-day observation hives and follow the mead path across the Commonwealth for a taste of history.
