"Teddy Bear" en anglais, doit son nom au 26ᵉ président des États-Unis, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. L'histoire de cette appellation remonte à un épisode survenu en novembre 1902, lors d'une partie de chasse dans l'État du Mississippi, qui a marqué l'imaginaire populaire.1. L'anecdote de la chasse et l'origine du nomEn 1902, le gouverneur du Mississippi, Andrew H. Longino, invite Theodore Roosevelt à une partie de chasse à l'ours. Après plusieurs heures sans succès, des membres de l'expédition capturent un petit ours noir et l'attachent à un arbre pour offrir au président la possibilité de tirer. Roosevelt, trouvant ce geste contraire à l'éthique de la chasse, refuse de tuer l'animal. Il demande que l'ours soit abattu pour mettre fin à ses souffrances, mais refuse d'en faire un trophée de chasse.Cette scène, relayée par la presse, inspire Clifford Berryman, caricaturiste du Washington Post, qui publie un dessin humoristique intitulé "Drawing the Line in Mississippi", représentant Roosevelt refusant de tirer sur l'ours attaché. Le dessin devient célèbre et l'image d'un petit ours attendrissant se propage rapidement.2. La naissance du "Teddy Bear"À la même époque, un couple d'immigrés russes installés à New York, Morris et Rose Michtom, fabriquent des jouets en peluche dans leur boutique de Brooklyn. Inspirés par la caricature de Berryman, ils créent un ours en peluche qu'ils nomment "Teddy's Bear", en hommage à Roosevelt. Avant de commercialiser leur création, ils demandent la permission du président, qui accepte volontiers.Le jouet connaît un immense succès et les Michtom fondent la Ideal Novelty and Toy Company, qui deviendra l'un des plus grands fabricants de jouets des États-Unis. Parallèlement, en Allemagne, la société Steiff, dirigée par Margarete Steiff, développe son propre ours en peluche, qui séduit le marché européen.3. Un jouet emblématiqueL'engouement pour le Teddy Bear grandit rapidement et dépasse les frontières américaines. Dès le début du XXᵉ siècle, l'ours en peluche devient un compagnon indispensable pour les enfants. Aujourd'hui, il reste un symbole de tendresse et de réconfort, incarnant une figure intemporelle du monde du jouet.Ainsi, l'ours en peluche "Teddy" doit son nom à un président américain, dont le simple geste de compassion a marqué l'histoire du jouet.

Mowbray is the co-founder of ZURU Toy Co., ZURU Edge, ZURU Tech, and Rhodes Pet Science. In 2018, he was named Entrepreneur of the Year in his home country, New Zealand, and he's listed in the World Entrepreneur Hall of Fame. He and his siblings, co-founders Mat and Anna, are worth more than $3 billion, while the company revenue was north of $2 billion AUD in 2022. Despite their success, the siblings didn't go into the toy business with a deep knowledge of business or manufacturing. In fact, they didn't even know much about toys. They just had one hot air balloon model, a lot of hustle, and a willingness to learn from their mistakes.

Melissa Bernstein, one of the founders of the Melissa and Doug toy company, joined MHA for a community conversation in September.  She agreed to let us air this as a special podcast episode so that we could share it with a wider audience.  Melissa shares a heartfelt reflection on her lifelong journey with anxiety and depression, and how developing a powerful set of practices supports meaning in her life.  In her book, LifeLines, Melissa shares her inspirational journey in hopes that her story will help others find their path to meaning and inner peace.  It was too aligned with Surfacing's theme to not include it here.  We hope you enjoy!  To learn more about LifeLines: www.lifelines.com
