A Young Bear's Adventure For A Heroic Heart!Eli Benjamin is a young bear cub who is born with a heart that needs immediate care. To save Eli, he has to travel far away to a human hospital and his mother can't go with him because she doesn't fit in the ambulance! Eli must survive this perilous journey alone armed only with a special blanket his mother gave him that is magically imbued with his father's essential life lessons and a song she places in his heart. While Eli is recovering, his plan to return to his parents skips a beat after he makes a special, new friend, Rascal, a mischievous raccoon. Rascal gets them in trouble and they are chased from the hospital! Now the only way to reunite with his parents is on foot through the dangerous forest. And with winter and hibernation fast approaching, it becomes a race against deep sleep!

In this heart-warming tale, Eli helps Punchinello understand how he is - no matter what other Wemmicks may think. Children will learn a vital lesson - regardless of how the world sees them, God loves each of them just as they are.
