ST. LOUIS, Sept. 24, 2024 // PRNewswire // -- Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. is excited to announce the release of a new board book titled "Friends Forever." The new book, illustrated by Anna Jones and created in collaboration with Odd Dot, an imprint of Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, invites readers on an adventure inside Build-A-Bear Workshop. Through the story, children experience the joy of creating a special friend that will last "fur-ever."

The cover features a spinning wheel that allows readers to create a bear, bunny or frog, among other loveable animals, then open the book to journey through the Workshop.

"What could be more magical than making a new, cuddly best friend? 'Friends Forever' invites our readers to embark on that journey of imagination, friendship, and play – the same journey at the heart of the Build-A-Bear Workshop experience," said Nathalie Le Du, Publisher of Odd Dot. "We are overjoyed to bring this enchanting experience to the page with one-of-a-kind novelty and a universal tale of friendship. This book holds a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to share it with children and their families to spark joy across all generations."

Build-A-Bear Workshop is excited to celebrate the launch of the "Friends Forever" book with special story time events on October 2 and 9 at participating Workshops. During these events, a Bear Builder will read the "Friends Forever" story, introducing its characters and themes through engaging readings. Children will enjoy interactive games and activities and have the chance to create their very own forever friend to take home. Guests of all ages are invited to join us for a fun-filled experience that makes the joy of "Friends Forever" truly unforgettable.
