The result is this unusual true story, co-written by the wise-but-funny Frank Lloyd Bear. Frankie's guidance brings Meps out of her funk and gives her the confidence to become an author, artist, and public speaker.
Presenting important life lessons with gentle humor, Frankie introduc- es the reader to his enlightened teddy-bear value system and explains concepts like Being, Right Speech, the importance of changing your mind, and what you can do with your magic superpower.
