Paisley’s Pay It Forward Adventure

Can a teddy bear change lives? Paisley certainly tries.

Eager for adventure, Paisley the teddy bear unexpectedly finds himself in a hospital, comforting Ahna, a young girl with cancer. But his mission doesn’t end there. From child to child, Paisley discovers the power of paying it forward—learning that even the smallest gestures can bring light during difficult times.

Inspired by an annual real-life Pay-It-Forward event, this heartwarming story reminds readers that love, hope, and kindness are gifts worth sharing. Like the many stuffed animals that have brought comfort to children, Paisley’s journey is one of purpose and giving back.

All book proceeds support nonprofit organizations: Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Brent’s Place, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Denver.
