Frilly feels small, confused and scared. She even ran away from Love. She decides to learn courage by going on a quest. Mawson tries to help and offers her a dashing steed and shield and sword. But Frilly’s quest is a quiet one. She wants to find herself. Equipped with her pink exploring bag and a selection of hats, she sets off into the wide world. Sometimes, those who go alone and quietly, simply seeking to be their best, are going on the grandest quest of all.

Welcome back to Mawson Bear and his Furry Friends. This little episode is a Humm or poem and its read by Mark, guardian and helper of Mawson Bear. Its only a little humm, so lean back and enjoy.

I talk about the organisation Free the Bears, and its founder Mary Hutton, and do a few quick quotes from the book Free the Bears by Mary Hutton and Julie Miller

Mawson likes to compose little hums (between naps on his cushion). This one is a little humm about holding on to your friends when you're feeling full of bothers and worries.
