Introduction / Mission

Would you like to see more curiosity, courage, and compassion in the world?

At Nspir, we believe these three traits form the foundation of a brighter, more connected future.

That’s why we created the adventures of ‘ittle Bear—a lovable, inquisitive, and brave traveller. Through each story, we invite children (and the young at heart) to explore these superpowers for themselves:

Embracing New Experiences: ‘ittle Bear actively seeks out unfamiliar places, people, and ideas, helping readers see the joy in exploration.
Encouraging Questions: By asking “why” and “how,” we learn not just facts, but develop a deeper understanding of the world around us.
Cultivating Wonder: Through open-mindedness and eagerness to learn, ‘ittle Bear models how curiosity can lead to surprising friendships, discoveries, and personal growth.

Facing Challenges: Whether it’s traveling to a new city or trying a new activity for the first time, ‘ittle Bear shows that everyone can feel fear—and that it’s okay.
Embracing the Unknown: Courage means stepping into unfamiliar territory, knowing we might make mistakes, but also knowing that’s how we learn and grow.
Growing Confidence: With each step forward, ‘ittle Bear builds self-confidence and empowers readers to do the same in their own lives.

Kindness in Action: Compassion isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we do. ‘ittle Bear offers help when others are in need, reminding us that even small gestures can make a big impact.
Empathy for All: Whether it’s a new friend in a different culture or a wild animal in a new environment, ‘ittle Bear’s empathy transcends boundaries, illustrating that everyone’s perspective is valuable.
Caring for Yourself: Compassion extends inward, too. Taking time to rest, reflect, and forgive mistakes is a vital part of developing self-worth.

We hope ‘ittle Bear’s stories ignite a spark of curiosity, courage, and compassion in everyone who reads them.

Together, let’s nurture these traits so that children can grow into caring, bold, and open-minded individuals—ready to make their own adventures in our ever-changing world.

I got the books. And they're SO great! I really love how you've done them and how well they combine important lessons with great cultural and language lessons (I know Swedish and French but it was so fun with the Irish, especially with such a good pronunciation guide). It's exciting to think of all the possibilities with this format.”
