Welcome to Henry Hero Bear

Helping Children Cope with Deployment

Henry Hero Bear is a 11" cuddly teddy bear accompanied by a story book designed to help young children cope with the absence of a military parent or loved one during a long deployment. 

The Story

Henry Hero Bear's story describes how life for a child will remain as normal as possible even though a loved one is temporarily away from home.  The story helps children by offering a special pocket (3" x 2.5") on his camoflauge uniform to hold a picture of the loved one who is away.

Children will be comforted knowing they can look inside Henry Bear's pocket and see a picture of the deployed loved one any time they want. The story also offers a loving way, using Henry Bear and the moon, for a child and the deployed parent to say good night to each other even though they are apart.

The story is appropriate for children 2 to 7 years old, however, older children will benefit from the comfort of Henry Bear offers during the stress of long deployments. Even though the story describes a father leaving for deployment, it is appropriate for a mother leaving as well.
