My Story
Over 20 years ago, I sat down and put into words an idea of a children’s book inspired from an elementary school project that my son, Ryan had in 3rd grade. We worked on this amazing project together that caught the attention of many around the world.
At that time, I created hand-made teddy bears, which were sold nationwide (Breland Bears, of course). I created “Travis - The Traveling Bear”. Travis became very popular and traveled throughout the United States, Canada and to many other countries, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Germany. Travis’ story even made the newspaper in Timaru, New Zealand (1999-2000).
Now 23 years later, I have recently made contact with many of those from around the world who had shared in Travis’ journey so long ago, including some who were children at that time and are now adults. Travis and his adventures are still remembered even after so many years!
Be on the lookout for the release of “Travis - The Traveling Bear”. An educational book for children of all ages. Adults will love Travis too!
I am VERY EXCITED to share that “Travis - The Traveling Bear” will capture the hearts of both children and adults again after nearly 25 years!
