To us, they might just look like a teddy bear. But to a child, they’re so much more.
They’re the friend who sat beside them through every poorly day, every first day at school, every family holiday, every bedtime story and every big feeling they didn’t quite have the words for.
As children grow, their teddies might no longer come everywhere with them. They often end up sitting quietly on a shelf or tucked safely away. But that doesn’t make them any less special.
Every worn ear, faded patch and wonky smile tells the story of a childhood that deserves to be remembered.
That’s why I draw them. So that even when childhood has been outgrown, the memories never are. And maybe… some teddies deserve a place on the wall just as much as they once deserved a place in little arms. 🤍
