Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From the author of On Your Potty] and Eat Your Dinner], these tales are a lot sweeter and less imperative than they sound. The drama is enacted between little bear Bartholomew and big bear George, who is a wonderful father figure, big and furry, peremptory and loving. The rhythm is immensely real, ' 'Come on Ba, into bed,' George said. 'Nah,' said Bartholomew,' and end up with a lot of cuddling, a sudden yawn, and sleep. Which might just convince children of the inevitability of obedience . . . or the lovely characters of bears.
