Dear Baxterbear Just the other day my niece was telling me, very enthusiastically, she has read your stories, especially the one set in a hospital and suggested that I should read it, since I am a doctor. I have to say I found it very intelligent and useful. It shows the human face of our very often mistreated profession. Indeed doctors and nurses are always willing to help children, and grown-ups too, although they are very busy. This bear can be a good companion for children in hospital, a teddy bear to cuddle and stroke when the little patient feels sad and lonely. From a psychological point of view he could give a helpful hand to parents and relatives who cannot be in hospital all the time. The stories, which are well written and pleasant to read, can be shared by all the little patients in our hospital. Considering our children’s department has a well-stocked library, Baxterbear stories will enrich our shelves for sure. I’m not a paediatrician myself, but I want to pass the information to the Paediatric department. By the way are the stories distributed and sold in Italy? Are they only in English or in other languages too? Are there any other stories related to the medical world? It would be nice if you could drop me a few lines as an answer. Thank you very much!”
