What others are saying about this book:
"There simply aren't enough words in any language to capture the spirit and soul of this book. I was touched beyond words . . . From the Heart of a Bear caught the children's spirits and touched my heart with their souls. I cried, I laughed, and I knew that I, too, had been touched by a giant bear. These stories deserve to be heard the world over." Darcie Sims, Ph.D., CT, GMS, Director of the American Grief Academy and president of Grief, Inc. Author of numerous books, including Why Are the Casseroles Always Tuna?, If I could just see Hope, Footsteps Through Grief and The Other Side of Grief.

"From the Heart of a Bear is a special invitation to enter a world that logic tells us should not co-exist - the magic of childhood and the reality of loss. There is a gentleness about this journey that will leave you with new levels of quiet wisdom, genuine gratitude, and abiding peace. It is soul food that should not be missed." Glenn Ann Martin, Ph.D., Psychologist, Nurse, Grief Counselor and Camp Facilitator.

"This is the story of a remarkable journey: the journey of an amazing lady with a heart the size of the universe and a special love for children - children who are sick and children who are grieving. She began by creating a huge, lovable panda bear that children could trust and who could teach them to dream. These are their stories, and this is a map of the journey that brought the lady and the children together. Grab a tissue and a cup of tea and prepare to be blessed beyond your wildest imaginings! JoAnn Zimmerman (who IS Amanda the Panda) has created a portrait of hope." Andrea Gambill, Editor, Grief Digest magazine.
