This is the story of Charming Justabear and how she learns to reflect her inner beauty. Author and Illustrator Phyllis Murillo made her first sketch of a Justabear while riding the city bus to work in 1985. The sketch was drawn on the margins of a newspaper because that's what was on hand when the inspiration hit. Phyllis creates her beautiful hand crafted Justabears and writes and illustrates their stories because it makes her feel so good.
