I can imagine all the efforts and work done by Carol to realize all these perfect collages with the precious pictures of Yair; This gorgeous and playful album should be used in primary schools to teach children on geopolitics to make them know the names and specificities of all the Nations of their earth! What a gift to Maria, a merited gift!!! Jacques

I would love to see these bears. Are they still on tour around the world? This is an incredible album that you have compiled to help celebrate Maria's birthday. I loved going through and seeing each and every one of them. I can see that you have put in many, many hours of work to complete this and I am so happy to have seen this today. Warm regards, Marjie

Hi Carol and Yair: we are deeply impressed by this wonderful collection: by the immense perseverance of collecting, by "the good eye" where to discover other examples, by the careful composition - and overall by underlining the deep sense of the collection! Thank you for this wonderful work - and cordial congratulations to Enemaria!!! All good wishes: Kaethi and Henri

Following Diane's visit I noticed that Canada is not represented here. But it's not because we forgot it, just that Canada did not have a bear in that exhibition...
