Meet Fred Bear as he explores sunny beaches, big cities, and everywhere in between — one storybook at a time.
Real places, real adventures — start the collection here.
Fred Bear's adventures are inspired by a real girl and her teddy bear, who set out to explore the big, wide world together. What started as small trips close to home — a walk through the park, a weekend by the coast — grew into something bigger: a shared habit of noticing new places, asking questions, and turning ordinary outings into real adventures. Every book in this collection retraces one of those actual trips, so the cities, landmarks, and little details Fred discovers are all real places families can visit themselves. The hope is simple — that reading about Fred's travels might inspire your own family to go exploring too, one real adventure at a time.
Fred's packing his bags for New England — lighthouses, rocky coastlines, and small-town charm.
