Hendrick Children's Hospital
features the Berenstain Bears
 | | Mike at opening of Hendrick children's wing |
We are delighted to be part of the new children's wing at the Hendrick Children's Hospital in Abilene, TX. The nurses' stations replicate the Berenstain Bears' tree house and each of the patient rooms and the foyer spotlight a Berenstain Bears book.
Our friendship with Abilene began when a Berenstain Bears' exhibit was featured at the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature (NCCIL). The Berenstain Bears Out West, which is the book spotlighted in the foyer of the children's wing, originated from Mike Berenstain's visit "out west" to the NCCIL in 2004. This book was the last book Stan and Jan created together as a husband and wife team.
