There, There

by Sam McBratney

Ivan Bates (Illustrator)

From Guess How Much I Love You author Sam McBratney comes this tender story of the special kind of soothing comfort that a hug can bring, setting everything just right again.

“There, there” — one of the most soothing expressions in the English language. In this story, Little Hansie Bear loves to pretend, but walking like a duck can be hazardous, especially when he falls into a deep- down ditch and has to be helped out by his dad. With a “There, there” and a hug, Hansie is soon off to play again. So when Dad hurts his foot, Hansie knows just what to do — a “There, there,” a big hug, and everything is all right again.

This is a lovingly illustrated book about repetition in the bumps and bruises of a busy Hansie bear. Sometimes dad is there for reassurance or rather most of the time. Yet maybe once in a while dad needs to be told "there, there", he too will be alright.
