Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Willy the Bear is the story of a bear that does not have any friends because he is always yelling. All the animals, including elephants larger than him and tigers more fierce than him, are afraid of Willy and run away when he yells. It takes a tiny ant named Arnie to one day stand up to Willy and tell him the truth. Willy learns that if he would just approach other animals in a soft and friendly way, then perhaps he would make friends. The next day he runs into a bunny rabbit and is about to yell as he is fixed in old habits, however, he remembers the tip Arnie the Ant gave him and tries a different approach. As a result he makes a friend for life. Willy the Bear is a timeless story of learning to be nice to others and that whatever one puts out reflects back onto him.
