The popular bear is more than a fictional character for children
by Emanuele Bonini
Probably it doesn't need presentations, because is a well famous character. It is British, but not really. We talk about Paddington, the bear who brought smiles and happiness to all the kids in the United Kingdom and beyond. Because still remaining an important character of the British culture, Paddington bear is in the house of many and many people all around the world. It's impossible to imagine what moms tell their children when they read about Paddington's adventures, but it would be useful to keep in mind that Paddington is first of all a migrant. Of course it is a nice and sweet teddy bear, but it basically remains a migrant. Let explain this to our children, let start reading between the lines, and maybe one day they will discover migrants don't represent a threat. Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children's literature created by Michael Bond, and appeared for the first time in 1958. In the first story, Paddington is found at Paddington railway station in London by the Brown family, sitting on his suitcase with a note attached to his coat that reads «Please look after this bear. Thank you». It is explained that the bear comes from the deepest Perù.
