Buddy the Teddy and the Buddy Bench
Today is Buddy the Teddy’s first day of school. He has everything he needs—pencils, crayons and his two good friends, Sunny and Joe. But Buddy soon learns that not everyone has what he has-a good friend! When his teacher explains what a “Buddy Bench” is for, Buddy the Teddy is ready to be a good friend to someone who is feeling left out and alone.
This wonderfully illustrated and beautifully written story by Jill Cook will inspire children to be the first to the Buddy Bench to make a new friend. Buddy the Teddy and the Buddy Bench is a must-read!

I love the new Buddy Brown book! I read it to my new baby boy and I can’t wait to see it published. I love that it’s a Christmas book and that it shares a lesson about kindness and giving at Christmas time. I can’t wait to share that lesson with my son through this book.

Here is my review,
This heartwarming book is a beautiful illustration of how children are reminded that reaching out to others with kindness and generosity is the true meaning of Christmas. The excitement that Buddy and his friends experience at this very special time of the year is what celebrating Christmas is all about! I can’t wait to read it to my grandchildren.
Connie Goodhope
What a wonderful story. A lovely tale of giving and thinking of others. The story is a great example of sharing at a time when we often only think of ourselves, at Christmas. This is a story that will encourage children to ask how they can also give to others like Buddy did. And how to pray for others.
Carolyn Stone
With a delightful, bouncy rhythm children can see how sharing at Christmas gives so much joy to others! The giving suggestions at the end motivate them to do more than just read the story again, plus they are able to join a club!
Heather Crossman
This is a great children’s book, so well written! It conveys the message that the greater joy at Christmas is in kindness and helping those less fortunate. A very important message to teach the new generation, to learn gratitude and caring for their fellow humans! The rhyming will appeal to children, as they will love reciting the verses along with the reader! Definitely recommend this book.

What a beautiful story of giving! Buddy and his friends learned how they could bring joy to others using the resources God has given them. They weren’t too little to help. They learned to think outside of themselves and value those who don’t have enough. And the best part is, there is a clear parallel with a real-world opportunity for readers to do as Buddy did so we can also learn the joy of giving humbly to others.
