When the Brookline team discovered one of their clients was expecting, a true Brookline-style welcome was in order. A Build-a-Bear was created for the newborn, which proudly bore a Brookline T-shirt. The team thought it would make for the perfect gift.

When newborn Jagger’s parents handed him over the present, being too young to open it himself, his big sister Niya was asked to help. From the moment she laid her eyes on the Brookline bear, her parents knew it was game over for Jagger. Niya hasn’t let go of the bear since. The bear accompanied the family to Montana, and even as Niya sleeps, she still keeps a tight grip.

The team may have just secured a future Brookliner.
