MISSING
A Magical Tale of Wild Teddy Bears
A Fun Children's Book Designed to Help You and Your Kids Thrive.
Missing is a story of friendship, courage, and discovery of the healing power of Mother Nature, and her little helpers — wild teddy bears, which is something that helped me overcome many challenges in my childhood and made me a much stronger, wiser, and healthier human being. I hope that you, and the children in your life, will have a chance to discover this magic too, because it can bring more balance into your busy digital lives and teach you something new — not just about your furry friends, but also about some of the less obvious responsibilities we all have toward ourselves, each other, and our dying planet, Earth.
Dear nature and teddy bear lovers of the world, our chapter book, dedicated to readers aged 8 and above, will be available very soon. In the meantime, please join our fun email newsletter for the latest updates and to download our exclusive preview of the first 3 chapters — ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Get Ready For the
Adventure of a Lifetime.
Would you like to join me on this incredible search-and-rescue adventure? We’ll visit the enchanted Black Forest, home to gigantic blueberries and wild teddy bears — the true ancestors of our domesticated teddies, and probably the rarest, wisest, and funniest creatures still roaming the face of the Earth.
Made In Close Collaboration With Mother Nature.
If there’s something or someone missing in your children’s world, don’t wait. You can count on our children’s story to help you start the conversation about everything that matters in life. Plus, in the last chapter of our book, dedicated just to you, grownups, we’ll be sharing step-by-step instructions for how YOU can become the healer in your family. Yes, it’s not just possible, it’s easy. All you’ll have to do is stay open-minded, think like a child from time to time, and remember to have some fun — even if through your children's closest allies — their teddies and stuffies. They can take your family on a lot of fun adventures and facilitate a variety of continued learning and healing — at home or on the go.

Nature and Teddy Bears Have Changed My Life.
During my life, I had a chance to meet many wise gurus and take notes from plenty of valuable books, but the knowledge I collected from Mother Nature and five of her furry friends was by far the most profound thing I learned about. Their insights, guidance, and tools helped me improve my physical and mental health so much, I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to learning everything there is to know about them and their powerful healing methods.

MISSING
HAVE YOU SEEN THESE TROUBLEMAKERS ANYWHERE?
Unfortunately, when I least expected it, this incredible team of professional counselors and personal advisors disappeared from my home without a trace. I was heartbroken.
One day, instead of shedding more tears, I started looking for my furry friends and writing stories about all the amazing adventures we’ve been through — not just to have the world help me find them but also to help children everywhere find themselves through the magical power of their own teddies and stuffies. It doesn’t matter who you are, how old you are, or where you come from. If bringing your own teddies, stuffies, or plushies to life and turning your world into a magical playground is something you could be into, then join me on this adventure.
Balancing Our Children's Busy Digital Lives.
Did you know that according to Stanford Health, each day, our children spend on average seven or more hours in front of various screens and less than ten minutes playing outdoors. (1) If children are no longer having fun in nature, then who helps them relax, heal, and balance their digital lives?
As parents, guardians, and educators, we are, without a doubt, our children’s most trusted advisors. Therefore, it is our responsibility to help them properly adapt to the ever-changing new normal, by finding some balance between the digital and physical world — ideally, through nature.
I started looking deeper into the relationship our children have with technology because, in my humble opinion, it is not just affecting their lives in an unprecedented way but it also seems to correlate with the global prevalence of mental health issues that are finally getting the attention they deserve.
I hope you can find a few minutes to read about my research on the current mental state of our children, which includes the official Advisory of the U.S. Surgeon General, who recently warned the public about the potential mental health crisis affecting children and youth everywhere. (2)
You can also make a huge difference in the lives of your children yourself, simply by teaming up with some of the best childhood counselors and advisors your children are already very familiar with. Who are these familiar creatures that provide millions of children around the world with friendship, healing, and comfort? My children’s story, Missing: The Greatest Teddy Bear Sorry In The World reveals all the secrets, which will be helpful especially if your children struggle with health, have problems at school, or don’t have any siblings.
