The Annie Bear Books — gentle stories for little hearts carrying big feelings, written by Kerri Walker.

Annie Bear Asks “What If?” — A Bedtime Story for Big Worries

Five-year-old Sarah’s what-ifs get loud at lights-out — small worries, and the biggest one of all: missing her Mommy. Through her teddy bear, Annie, Sarah finds words for every worry, and her daddy learns the most important thing of all: he doesn’t have to fix the feelings. He just has to stay.

For ages 3–8 · Paperback · Includes a gentle guide for grown-ups with three simple bedtime tools: breathe together, name worries smallest-first, and make room for the missing.

“A tender and accessible story that gives children language for worries that can feel too large to name.”

— Dr. Roderick Logan, DPTh, FAAETS · Trauma-Informed Coherence Coach and Fellow, American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress

Kerri Walker writes stories that help children feel safe, seen, and loved. Annie Bear is named for Kerri’s mother, Ann — the original Annie Bear.
