My name is Libby Baxter and i embarked on writing 'Fletcher and Bear' after the tragic loss of my son Fletcher. Fletcher was stillborn in April 2018 due to unknown circumstances. Fletcher had a rare physical condition called Amniotic Band Syndrome which had affected his hands and feet physically but if you looked past his condition he was a perfect little boy. This story was written to give Fletcher a life he was so sadly unable to live. The story line captures Fletcher's physical deformities as special and not something that should limit a child's happiness. I have a Bear that I like to imagine would have been Fletcher's favourite should he still be here with me. I have incorporated 'Bear' as Fletcher's side kick throughout the story. I wrote this book as a dedication to Fletcher and also in recognition of all parents, family and friends who have experienced the loss of a child.
