It’s almost time for winter and bear is getting sleepy.
He has a story to tell, but all his animal friends are too busy getting ready for winter to take the time to listen.
Bear is gentle, kind, and patient.
He prioritizes helping his friends, even though he has a story to tell.
Just like bear, we all have the need to be seen and heard.
The husband/wife Caldecott award winning duo have created a story that illustrates the importance of being understood by our community. The illustrations are soft and expressive and really capture the emotions of the animals, especially bear.
This is a sweet story written about friendship, patience, and the turning of the seasons that children ages 3-6 will love.
When spring time comes, I’m so glad that bear finally gets to share his story with the help of his friends.
Enjoy this sweet treat.
Helps with: patience, friendship, storytelling, learning about migration, hibernation, seasons, and nature.
