Bear Hugs for Stella
Publication Date: 2023
Stella loves and collects teddy bears. When faced with an essay, she tries to avoid doing her homework after a bout with writer's block. How she overcomes her obstacles through closer bonds with her creative Japanese grandmother makes this book likely to inspire the growth of a young reader faced with any kind of writing assignment.
Genie Chow has created a truly enchanting work for children of
all ages with this masterfully illustrated and inspiring
tale.

My grandchildren absolutely loved "Bear Hugs for Stella." They
enjoyed the bright and detailed illustrations of the sweet teddy
bears, and the engaging story of Stella. As an elementary school
teacher, I appreciate how the story progresses through Stella's
typical childhood emotions of being stubborn and frustrated, to
being highly motivated to do her school project. I plan to use this
book in class in the upcoming school year.

others.
