Strong winds pull Monkey free from home-tree, while ONE LUCKY TEDDYBEAR swings along, joyfully. Leaves blow and curl beside these two friends as they loop and zoom sideways, flying around the Earth to return home again. 

LOOK & FIND the hot air BALLOON in every scene 🙂

Hello, it’s ME, Leesa 🙂

My colourful paints and WORDPLAY have combined again to create something exciting and NEW!

The Children’s Illustrated Picture Book,
ONE LUCKY TEDDYBEAR SIDEWAYS
is book #2 in the series.

Inside these pages is another unique adventure about friendship, fear, comfort and hope.

The CONTRAST and HIGHLY DETAILED illustrations will inspire and spark conversations about difference, helping each other, accepting help and embracing change.

The WORDPLAY is rhythmic and FUN.

These books are gender neutral — there is no leading identity, male or female. These books are a fit for ALL to read 🙂

These stories have been well received by children, specifically appealing to neurodiverse, on the autism spectrum, and nonverbal personalities.

Cartoonish characters and reactions will please hesitant readers, as the illustrations capture the imagination and lead the stories easily.

The One Lucky Teddybear series may be used to promote conversations about:

– Climate Change
– Feelings / Emotions
– Sudden Displacement
– Encountering Strangers
– Helping Others
– Celebrating Your Unique Skills
– Noticing and Appreciating Contrast and Opposites
And more…

Or, SIMPLY ENJOY! You and YOUR LITTLE ONE reading together this WILD and WINDY ride-along with MONKEY and One Lucky Teddybear.

One Lucky Teddybear SIDEWAYS and One Lucky Teddybear FALLING are both NOW available for delivery by ordering online to your home address or delivered as a GIFT.
