Things Berty notices
Small signals
can say a lot.
- When someone is standing at the edge of play
- When practical help may feel easier than lots of questions
- Small details that carry a warm memory
Meet a woodland friend
Berty Bear
A steady friend who makes room beside him
Berty notices when a friend might need an invitation rather than an instruction. He can offer a paw, help rebuild what has fallen and sit nearby when conversation can wait.
Berty wears hearing aids. They are one ordinary part of how he moves through the woodland, not the whole of who he is.
