Stories for children to inspire emotional growth.
Children's books that combine the joy of reading with emotional growth.
My books try to introduce concepts of emotional intelligence to children
which is so critical for real success in life.
At the end of each book in the series, you will find a short list of questions designed to stimulate discussion around the emotions highlighted in the text. How do you comfort friends when they are sad? Do you have patience like Fat Bear or do you want things now? Points of discussion like these help your children discover their own emotions in an objective way, giving them the confidence they need to succeed in their lives – every day.

"They are wonderful books that come to life as you read them."

"I read Deborah's 3 books about the teddy bears to my 3 1/2 year old nephew yesterday modifying the text somewhat to meet his ability and concentration level. He really liked them. He wanted to read the next
one and then the next. He was suitably sad that Fat bear felt sad and lonely. He liked the illustrations. A very positive endorsement."
Margaret W. (Toronto)

I work with children and those that I have shared the books with are very engaged with the story as well as the great illustrations. I would recommend them highly to parents and teachers alike.

This book set is great for children to learn more about emotional engagement and I really love the fact that some of the money is going to charities. Very enjoyable.

“It takes a special creative talent to bring the inanimate to life - to have the ability to visualize and capture another person’s imagination and make it a reality. Fat Bear and Friends are completely “real” to Jenna and myself. We wanted to share their lovable personalities with our readers.” Using his extensive artistic experience Jozef made this dream a reality.
With his whimsical interpretation of their individual characters the bears come to life in their full expression. Using his deep emotional intelligence Jozef empathized with the bears emotions with compassion and in a few brush strokes captured “feelings” on paper. A true artist in every sense of the word.
