Have you noticed any bears in your neighborhood lately?
Teddy bears may be hiding in windows around the world, so out-of-school children can "hunt" them during the COVID-19 pandemic. Getting outdoors for a fun scavenger hunt is good medicine.
Winnie the Pooh is another beloved bear from our childhoods. Pooh relished many adventures with his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. English author A. A. Milne, who served in both World Wars, left children of all ages, words of wisdom and inspiration to take us through tough times.
