In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly talented Joe Gatto—comedian, actor, producer, and star of the hit series Impractical Jokers. We dive into his latest creative venture, a delightful children's book debut titled "Where’s Bearry?"
"Where’s Bearry?" (releasing on 9/3) is a story that resonates with parents and children alike. It’s a hilarious and heartwarming bedtime adventure about a boy’s quest to find his missing stuffed bear, brought to life by the vibrant and engaging illustrations of award-winning illustrator Luke Flowers.
In our conversation, Joe shares the hands-on inspiration behind the book. As a father of two, Joe recounts the night when his son couldn't find his stuffed bear, Bearry. This real-life family adventure became the heart of "Where’s Bearry?" and highlights the relatable chaos and love that parents and children experience together.
We also explore the book’s emphasis on promoting healthy coping mechanisms. Joe discusses how the story teaches mindfulness and deep breathing techniques to help children manage their emotions during stressful moments. Kids are encouraged to practice these techniques along with the character, ensuring the lessons of the book linger long after the story ends.
The enchanting illustrations by Luke Flowers are another highlight. Luke’s friendly, funny, and powerful artwork brings Bearry’s search to life, capturing the imagination of young readers and their parents.
Join us as we delve into the making of "Where’s Bearry?" and discuss its potential to become a beloved classic. With its traditional rhyming scheme, modern mindfulness lessons, and Joe’s unique comedic touch, this book is poised to stand out as a new favorite in children’s literature.
