'A Bear Called AH!' Arriving soon...

I had that idea in November 2025...

And it grew, and grew, and blossomed in December...

And everyone loves the idea too...

And it has such heart...

And by January, the story was written...

And 12 magnificent professional artists joined

TEAM BEAR!

'A Bear Called Ah!'

Here at 'Team Bear' HQ, we are all working away excitedly, to produce a very special gift book called 'A Bear Called AH!'

I've written this book specially for The Ayrshire Hospice & 12 magnificent artists have gifted their work to illustrate 12 wonderful bears; one of which is called AH!

A young lad comes home to find a bear wearing a label with his initials on it; but it can't be for him - he's too old for a bear!

You can read the stories of 12 people's bears and see if you agree, that you're never to old for a bear!

100% of ALL proceeds from this book will go to this wonderful charity.

Coming soon...

'TEAM BEAR!'

I truly wanted this book to be extra special and to be beautifully illustrated by 12 professional artists. Each illustration plate of

'A Bear Called AH!' showcases each of the artist's talent and individual style; perfectly paired to show the unique diversity of each of the 12 bears.

This was a HUGE ask, when I approached the artists and ran the idea and concept past them, however, the first artist said an immediete 'Yes!', followed by a second, and a third, and within a few short days, 'TEAM BEAR' was established with all happily and kindly gifting thier work and time, to make this big idea of a book, a reality.

All contributors have gifted their work and 100% of ALL proceeds will go to The Ayrshire Hospice
