It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

When she created Barnaby’s Playhouse, Elana didn’t expect to have one of the largest children’s shows of all time. She had a family- her loving husband, Aaron, and daughter Laurie. And then there was Barnaby, the sweet, sensitive son who inspired the TV show that inspired millions of viewers to embrace creativity and learn along the way.

After fourteen seasons, Barnaby’s Playhouse airs its final episode... and everything falls apart.
Two years after Barnaby’s Playhouse ends, the family loses Aaron in a collision. The accident estranges Elana from her daughter and leads a regressed and grieving Barnaby to hide in the costume of her show’s titular polar bear.
Between managing her grief and working to piece her family back together, Elana returns to her work for comfort, finding a new opportunity with a very unexpected writing partner: the boy from Aaron’s fatal accident.

“A Bear Named Barnaby” concludes The Grief Trilogy by Brandon L Roberts with a harrowing and often funny tale of family dysfunction, second chances, and humanity’s growing reliance on nostalgia for comfort.
