ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16, 2023 // PRNewswire // -- Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. announces that new book, Stories & Heart: Unlock the Power of Personal Stories to Create a Life You Love, published by Forbes Books and authored by Sharon Price John, Build-A-Bear Workshop President and Chief Executive Officer, hit the Amazon Best Seller List for Business Mentoring and Coaching on its recent publication date. Stories & Heart is available at Amazon, as well as a wide array of both ecommerce and brick-and-mortar retailers including Barnes & Noble, Hudson News, and select Build-A-Bear Workshop locations.

"Many thanks to all who have contributed to helping Stories & Heart achieve a best-seller medallion on launch day. I believe we all have more power to create a life we love than we may realize and hope this book can serve as a tool for those who are willing to take that personal journey," said Ms. John who has been the President and CEO of the beloved publicly traded company for nearly a decade. "The positive feedback from readers and the media about the belief in the potential positive impact of the book has been truly humbling."

Through a variety of personal stories and career experiences working with some of the world's best-known toy companies, including the Build-A-Bear organization which she led and evolved through economic challenges and a global pandemic, Ms. John's new book is designed to provide insights and tools, supported by data and research, in an approachable manner and understandable format.  Each chapter explores areas like goal setting, change, values, failure, or perfectionism and is grounded in a personal "Story," after which the reader is asked a related "Question from the Heart" and provided an exploratory exercise with the goal of creating a personal and actionable guidebook designed to help them "create a life they love."

Separately, Build-A-Bear is pleased to share that in honor of the launch of Stories & Heart, the company has donated $25,000 to the Build-A-Bear Foundation, which focuses on childhood literacy and the wellbeing of children.
