Where Is Bina Bear?

Reach for this book when your child seems overwhelmed by loud social gatherings, hides behind your leg at parties, or prefers the quiet comfort of a corner over the center of the room. It is a gentle validation for children who process the world differently and may find high-energy environments draining rather than exciting. The story follows Tiny the dog as he searches for his friend Bina Bear at a bustling party. Bina is hiding in plain sight, disguised as a lamp or a table, because the noise and crowd are simply too much for her. It is a beautiful exploration of introversion, sensory processing, and the beauty of a friendship that respects personal boundaries. Parents will appreciate how it models a supportive response to social anxiety without ever making the child feel like they need to 'fix' their quiet nature.
