The Bear & Bee Bedtime Rhymes are stories meant to bring parent and child together for a memorable time just before falling asleep. The stories are comprised of all original poems, written by Shiån Serei to help develop a child’s understanding of the world, especially regarding what we often call ‘normal.’ There are many kinds of families, and relationships in the world that are different to others and the idea that one kind of family or pattern is “right” often confuses children. For example, a child raised by their grandparents, or a single parent can present unique challenges that are not addressed beyond the home. Moreover, mixed cultures, races, ages, and genders are becoming more common in modern relationships, but all children are the same. They need loving attention and an understanding that ‘different’ is not so unique nor is it wrong.
