'ittle Bear : The Adventures Begin

'ittle Bear travels the world in a Big Person's suitcase. While the Big Person works, she goes out on adventures of her own. As she travels, she experiences the wonderful things that one does when traveling (new places, exciting sights, new food, and new friends).  

She also experiences a challenge that she solves through three superpowers that she has the potential for and develops within herself. These superpowers enable her to interact effectively across cultures, religions, and communities and are based on research in organizational psychology and intercultural collaboration.  

This is the first book that will be followed with specific country, region, and activity books. Each subsequent book will introduce a new friend who is her guide, as well as highlights of that location, such as language, sights, food, and customs. She will experience a specific challenge with each book where she will have a chance to exercise and strengthen her superpowers.

The books give children a chance to travel and experience our world without leaving their bedroom or classroom. Through the books, we hope to introduce a love of experiencing all the exciting differences in our world, as well build the ability to interact effectively in a global society.
