Ted is an artistic dragon that loves to create things — from cakes, to painting pictures, and designing costumes. But Ted is lonely because he doesn’t have any friends to share things with. Ted tries his best to make friends, but all the other forest animals are afraid of him. That’s because Ted is different.

Maybe if Ted were like the other forest animals, he would have lots of friends. And so Ted designs a bear costume to wear to a “bears only” party in the hopes that he’ll be accepted and befriended by everyone at the party. But will that be the case? Why can’t everyone accept him for who he is?

Just Being Ted is a wonderful tale that also has a few life lessons for the young ones. Lessons that stress the importance of accepting those that are different and that one should treat others the same as how they would want to be treated.

With adorable illustrations, Just Being Ted is the perfect family-time read for pre-schoolers and kindergarteners.
