Book 1: Teddy at Home
Brown Bear
Where Teddy’s curiosity begins
Stories inspired by family, travel, and kindness
Travels of Teddy the Bear
Welcome to our little corner of imagination, where every story begins with love, adventure, and the belief that the best lessons are found within the pages of a great book.
Created by Grandpa Stan Young, this illustrated children’s series celebrates culture, family, animals, friendship, and the joy of discovering the world together.
Every Teddy story began as a bedtime story told to Stan Young’s grandchildren.
A grandfather’s stories, shared with the world
My grandfather isn't just the author of these wonderful children's stories—he's my best friend. His last name is Young, which is how Forever Young Publishing, Inc. got its name.
Each book was first told to his grandchildren when they were little, and that is why every book is dedicated to a different grandchild. The result is a warm series about curiosity, kindness, travel, animals, and family.
“The greatest adventures often begin with turning the very first page.”
