Bear Shaped, by Dawn Coulter Cruttenen

Some stories stay with you a little longer… and this is one of them. In this calming bedtime story for children, we read Bear Shaped by Dawn Coulter-Cruttenden. It’s a gentle, thoughtful story about a boy called Jack and the loss of something very important to him, and the kindness of others along the way.Aelish takes the lead and reads the first half of the story herself, before I take over for the second. She did a brilliant job. We finish with a short, child-friendly chat about kindness, helping others, and donating things we no longer use.A calm, cosy bedtime story to help children relax, wind down, and get ready for sleep.
