A heart-warming picture book that gently teaches little ones about accepting differences and the true meaning of friendship.

Benjamin the bear wears a long, black cloak, doesn't talk to anyone and only goes out at night. He feels like everyone else, but his neighbours think he's a scary vampire!

In reality, this kind-hearted bear is simply very shy and can't help but keep to himself.

This beautifully imagined storybook helps children challenge everyday expectations, making it a soothing bedtime story to share together.

Watch your child's empathy grow with:

• Playful characters that teach children how to accept the differences of others.
• A gentle focus on self-esteem, friendship, and bullying to show readers that there is more to each of us than meets the eye.
• Imaginative and lyrical writing from author and illustrator Dubravka Kolanovic that taps into every child's longing to belong.
