Picnic Bear Gets His Name

Picnic Bear has no name until he meets a group of “hairless bears”- humans - having a picnic. He inadvertently scares them off and overhears them shouting “picnic!” The bear then rushes home to tell his family his new name: PICNIC!


Papa Chip is a multiple business owner and entrepreneur, and Elizaveta is a high school senior, both residing in the Carolinas. Papa Chip originally wrote the story for his ten-year-old daughter, whose spectrum issues challenged him to reach her by empathizing with her through the bear’s perspective. The writers hope this book will be a useful tool for other parents, whose children identify and express their sentiments through animals and computer generated images. Otherwise, this story is just plain fun!
