The Chronicles of Teddy the Bear: Forever Friends
A Heartwarming Chapter Book About Friendship, Foster Care, and Being Seen-Just as You Are
By Deborah Share
With short, accessible chapters, gentle humor, and emotionally resonant moments, this book is perfect for early independent readers.
Teddy is a joyful, big-hearted bear who sees the best in everyone-even the prickliest porcupine.
Teddy might be clumsy, struggle with handwriting, and have trouble keeping his shoes tied, but his invisible disability doesn't stop him from being a truly amazing friend. With the help of his wise and wonderful mom, Teddy has learned that kindness, curiosity, and compassion matter more than being perfect.
Pippa is a quiet porcupine in foster care-her fifth placement. She's tired of starting over, scared to trust,
and sure no one will ever really understand her. She's built walls around her heart to stay safe.
But everything changes when she meets Teddy.
Through spilled grapes, rainy day puddles, whispered secrets, and one very real friendship,
Teddy helps Pippa believe-just maybe-that love and belonging are possible after all.
Told in short, accessible chapters with alternating points of view, Forever Friends is a heartwarming, humorous,
and emotionally honest story that celebrates:
Foster care and chosen family Neurodiversity and invisible disabilities Empathy, healing, and the courage to trust The quiet power of friendship
Perfect for independent readers, family read-alouds, and classroom libraries, this tender chapter book is ideal for fans of Because of Winn-Dixie, Wemberly Worried, Ivy + Bean, The Invisible String, and The One and Only Ivan.
