Help The Grumpy Bear touch hearts worldwide

Aim: My aim is to raise the required funds to publish my children's book, The Grumpy Bear, professionally

🧸✨ Help Bring The Grumpy Bear to Life! 📚💛

The Grumpy Bear was created by me and my 4 year old daughter Azaya. 

We’re on a mission to raise £3,000 to give this heartwarming children’s book the proper launch it deserves — with the support of an established children’s book publisher! 

The Grumpy Bear is more than just a bedtime story.
It’s a beautifully illustrated, rhyming tale of a moody forest bear who learns that life is brighter with friends by your side. With visits from cheerful Rabbit, playful Squirrel, and kind-hearted Deer, Bear’s world transforms — and so will your child’s understanding of empathy, emotional awareness, and community.

• Why support this book?
  Promotes emotional well-being in young children
  Gentle life lessons wrapped in fun, rhyming storytelling
  Stunning illustrations to capture little imaginations
  A timeless message: kindness can melt even the grumpiest heart

📘 The Grumpy Bear is currently available via Amazon KDP at £12.75:

However, this is not the ideal home for the book. High printing costs and limited distribution make it challenging to reach families worldwide. That’s why this crowdfunding campaign is so important. It will allow us to collaborate with a professional children's publisher to enhance accessibility, reduce purchase costs, and extend the book’s reach.

✨ Special Reward for Large Donors! ✨

As a heartfelt thank you, any donor who contributes 25% or more toward our £3,000 goal will have their name and/or company name included on the “With Thanks” page inside the published book — a lasting tribute to your generosity.

✨ Special Reward for £50+ Donors! ✨

As a thank you for your incredible support, anyone who pledges £50 or more will receive a signed, personalised, special Edition copy of The Grumpy Bear once it's officially published with our chosen children’s book publisher. 🐻💛

🛑 No donations will be taken unless the full target is reached — so your pledge is completely risk-free unless we hit our goal and bring this bear to life! 🐻

💫 With your help, we can share this story with families everywhere. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer.

🧡 Bear and all his woodland friends send you thanks and friendly hugs 🧡
