Bear Tales & Beyond is an original creative world born through Beacon of Light Studio, where music, storytelling, artwork, and imagination come together in a whole new way. Beginning with five unforgettable friends—Tony the Bear, Percy the Porcupine, Benny the Beaver, Molly the Moose, and Riley the Raccoon—this growing world will continue to unfold through original songs, stories, artwork, and new adventures. And this is only the beginning, with possibilities for future books, merchandise, character experiences, and more as Bear Tales & Beyond continues to grow.
Tony the Bear believes every day holds the promise of a new adventure. Whether he’s casting a line into sparkling waters, exploring winding forest trails, or lending a helping paw to a friend, he approaches life with curiosity, courage, and a joyful spirit. His stories celebrate kindness, perseverance, and the simple moments that often become the most unforgettable memories.
Percy the Porcupine is the brilliant inventor of the group, always dreaming up clever gadgets, remarkable machines, and imaginative solutions to everyday problems. While not every experiment goes exactly as planned, his endless curiosity, quick thinking, and cheerful determination often lead to discoveries that surprise everyone—including Percy himself. His adventures remind us that every great invention begins with a simple idea.
Benny the Beaver is the master builder of the group, happiest when he’s designing, constructing, and improving just about everything around him. From sturdy bridges and towering lodges to ambitious projects that may be a little bigger than necessary, Benny believes every challenge can be solved with hard work, teamwork, and just one more board. His adventures celebrate determination, creativity, and the satisfaction of building something that lasts.
Molly the Moose is the calm, thoughtful heart of the group. She has a gift for seeing the bigger picture, offering gentle guidance, and helping her friends find the best path forward. Whether exploring peaceful woodland trails or sharing quiet moments of encouragement, Molly reminds everyone that kindness, patience, and wisdom are often the greatest strengths of all.
Riley the Racoon is the curious explorer and storyteller of the group, always searching for hidden trails, forgotten places, and the little details others might overlook. With a journal in one paw and a sense of adventure in the other, he collects memories, uncovers surprises, and turns every journey into a story worth sharing. Riley reminds us that the greatest discoveries often begin with a single step and an open mind.
