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.

This provoked some interesting and diverse answers. I made notes! Below is what people told me:


This got me thinking... I am wondering in the next edition of my book (which I am currently working on) whether to put some workshop type questions in the back for teachers to use - or anyone to consider - after they have read some or all of the book.

What do you think?
