Bobby The Bear Helps Build A Nest Book By Ryan O'Connor

Written by Kansas City author, Ryan O'Connor. We are so excited to be carrying this line of books and love the message within the story. Hardback.

Description of the story by the author:

"“I can’t do it!” It’s a sentiment that many children have expressed. The idea or belief that you can’t do something can ruin confidence in a student. In Bobby the Bear Helps Build a Nest, readers can explore the theme of persistence alongside Bobby. Ollie, a baby owlet, is trying to build a special nest for his sister, Olive. After failing at the task, however, Ollie throws a tantrum. He is overheard by Bobby the Bear. Bobby, a big brother and mentor to many of his forest friends, attempts to console his little friend. Bobby explains that we sometimes fail, but it’s okay. He even provides an example to Ollie about a time he failed five times to build his first bed. Bobby encourages Ollie not to give up and not to allow adversity to defeat him.

Another element added to the story is Bobby’s patience, generosity, and kindness towards his friend Ollie. Parents, teachers, guardians, older siblings, and friends must remember to be patient, generous, and kind when trying to help a young person struggling with failure. Too many times, people get upset or angry. This only makes someone want to give up more.

Bobby teaches children not to give up with adversity strikes. He also teaches others to be patient and kind when helping someone struggling with failure.

Bobby the Bear Helps Build a Nest explores the common theme of persistence and, at the same time, touches on the theme of patience."
