The listing, VGC Heartfelt Stories About Beanie Babies and Those Who Collect Them, Paperback 1999 by Pamela Knapp has ended.
This inspiring anthology offers nearly 200 stories from collectors ages 9-79 whose lives have been changed by Beanie Babies(R). Readers of all ages will be amazed at how Beanie Babies have functioned as motivating coaches, teachers, therapists and emotional healers, benefactors, trouble-shooters, nurses, matchmakers, companions, and family counselors. They'll read about:
* the mother who found a way to face the trauma of chemotherapy
* the nine-year-old boy who started a mission to help the homeless
* the dying father who discovered a reason to smile
* the long-standing friendship that magically turned to love and marriage
and many more heartfelt stories.
This heartwarming collection is the first to document the everlasting legacy of Beanie Babies(R) as seen in their enormous cultural impact. Some of these stories may surprise you; a few may bring a tear; many will make you smile. But all will warm your heart, much in the same way Chocolate(TM) the Moose, Schweetheart(TM) the Orangutan, and Whisper(TM) the Deer warm the hearts of Beanie Baby(TM) lovers all across the world.
