Native American Lore. Mama Bear is Grandmother, Baby Bear is grandchild, the story is about the Forbidden Fruit of the forest (drugs/alcohol) Because of the pitfalls caused by drug abuse and other destructive cycles, more and more grandparents and other relatives are finding themselves charged with the protection and upbringing of the children. When Mama Bear heard rumors that her grandchild is in grave danger, because his parents are partaking of the Forbidden Fruit, she, without hesitation, leaves her side of the forest and rescues him and takes him home. Mama Bear teaches Baby Bear how to count the stars, how to use his own intuition, she teaches him which berries to eat and which not to eat. The idea for Mama Bear Baby Bear was born out of my own experience, which lead to a magical, spiritual, life-changing journey for both my grandchild and I as a grandparent.
