Meet Griffin & Scout
A little courage. A loyal friend. One brave step at a time.
Griffin is five, and his world is changing. Scout, his much-loved teddy bear, stays close as Griffin enters a new home, meets unfamiliar people, and learns that courage does not mean facing change alone.
Two Friends Facing Change Together
At the heart of the story is a simple promise: children should not have to face big changes alone.
Meet Griffin
Griffin is five years old—kind, curious, and doing his best to be brave. As he enters foster care, he faces a new home, unfamiliar routines, and feelings he cannot always name. What he needs most is the steady reminder that he is safe, cared for, and not alone.
Meet Scout
Scout is Griffin’s favorite teddy bear and most loyal teammate. He listens when Griffin is quiet and stays close when the world feels too big. With his backward hat and patched foot, Scout is a familiar source of comfort—and a small reminder that courage can begin with something you trust.
Together, they are a team.
Griffin and Scout remind children that courage does not mean having all the answers or never feeling afraid.
Sometimes courage simply means taking the next step with someone you trust beside you.
You are loved.
You are valued.
You are never alone.
