Books

The Power of Piggie Bear teaches students not to judge one another and reminds them that they are perfect just the way they are! Piggie Bear shows children his favorite Piggie Bear Hug and his special Piggie Bear saying: “I am Amazing!”

Piggie Bear's Power of Happiness – the newest addition to the Piggy Bear book series – helps children identify and manage their emotions in fun, loving, and effective ways. Piggie Bear guides readers through visualizations that expand their hearts and can help prevent future suffering. By teaching young children to identify their emotions, release extra energy, and perform deep belly breathing and self-hugs, Piggie Bear is there to encourage kids through every feeling. 

Plush

We have proudly partnered with our friends at Build-A-Bear Workshop to create the Piggie Bear plush – designed to complement Piggie Bear’s teachings from the books and reinforce positive emotional skills. Soft and cuddly, this adorable stuffed animal will provide friendship and comfort to any child.
