“Different Kind Of Bear”

Different Kind Of Bear is the debut children’s picture book by author Xuan Blooming. It took more than three years to write and finish, and she finally brought this meaningful story to life for families everywhere to enjoy. The story follows Momo and his panda family as they leave their home in search of a new one. Their journey brings them to a town of brown bears where Momo discovers what it means to be new, different, and part of a community.

Through a gentle and heart-warming story, Different Kind Of Bear explores themes of migration, kindness and finding a place where everyone can feel at home.

For Xuan, this book is more than just a story to enjoy together. It is a story she truly believes in.

“I couldn’t wait to bring this story to life because I believe that sometimes our stories and our words can speak louder than our voices,” She said.

Different Kind Of Bear has received warm and positive responses from teachers and educators around the world, who have connected with its message of kindness and belonging.

Xuan often jokes about her writing space: “The ceiling where I work isn’t very high, but it’s where I bring my stories to life. And once they become books, they can go far beyond the roof.”
