are often fascinated by people with
disabilities. All of us
remember our parents telling us not to stare
at somebody with a disability, but we found
it fascinating. Children are also frightened
that if there is something wrong with them,
they won’t be loved. Some children feel too
short, too big, too fat, or not attractive
enough. Others feel unlovable for different
reasons.
The
beauty of the SarahBear is that she
satisfies a child’s curiosity about
disabilities while teaching them that a
disability does not mean a loss of love.
Many people will be able to identify with
the SarahBear, being reminded that because
there is something wrong it doesn’t mean
you’re not lovable. SarahBear is wonderful
not only for children who have lost a limb,
but for anyone who somehow feels wounded.
Warmly,
