Regardless of whether you agree with the content in this book, all bears, children and adults should NEVER feel ashamed about who they are.  I am a Christian and I am not ashamed of that so why should someone who is a different race, wears glasses, lives with Asperger’s, ADHD, physical differences, being scared, not being able to read or write, or just like bear…no longer being happy as Thomas but finding joy and peace in being Tilly.
