Help!! What is Town Mayor Roxie to do when she loses something very precious to her and indeed, the whole town..? Just before she’s ready to give up, along comes a small, magimistical bear called Strumbold… This is the story of their adventure - about love, keeping promises and finding magic in everyday stuff. It’s a book to be read out loud to the special (big and small) people in your life. Amongst the kerfuffle, confusion and difficulties of living in our world today… this story will help you remember that there are still simple, important things like friendship, kindness, cake and a Festival of Teddy Bears.

Elizabeth Gibbs

It was a fortunate day when my wife came home and told me she may have found me an illustrator. After some emails exchanging ideas and styles and dreams, Elizabeth and I began our journey together. I will always be so grateful to her for catching the essence of Roxie and all the other characters in the story so well. It was an enormous pleasure to work with her and I hope her illustrating career continues to go well. 

Thanks Elizabeth
