An illustrated story introducing the Growth Mind-set Characters from the Elli project. Read how Bear and Elli set off to find a new home for Bear. Elli introduces Bear to a host of friends to help him overcome the problems he encounters on his journey. Children quickly identify with the different characters’ traits to help them overcome their own barriers to learning.
