Max and Bear : By Sun We Play, By Moon We Sleep

Take a trip back to the magical days of the early 90s with Max and Bear, a heartwarming tale of childhood wonder, imagination, and friendship.

Max, a curly-haired, chubby-cheeked two-year-old with golden blonde hair and bright blue eyes, spends his days exploring the world with his best friend, Bear—a soft yellow teddy with a red-and-white checkered bowtie. Together, they turn everyday moments into extraordinary adventures. From building blanket forts to cooking up pretend feasts in a Playskool kitchen, playing hide-and-seek in a cozy 90s living room, and exploring a backyard filled with iconic toys like the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe and turtle sandbox, Max and Bear’s bond will remind you of the simple joys of childhood.

With nostalgic nods to the early 90s woven into every beautifully illustrated page—from VHS tapes of The Little Mermaid to Crayola crayons and Fisher-Price toys—this tender, rhyming story creates a cozy world for children and adults alike. As day turns to night and play turns to bedtime, Max’s unshakable love for Bear shines brightly, proving that the comfort of a best friend can make any adventure complete.

Perfect for parents who grew up in the 90s and want to share the magic of their childhood with their little ones, Max and Bear is a charming bedtime story filled with warmth, nostalgia, and the timeless joys of friendship and imagination.
