A humorous and heartfelt story about the power of changing your perspective
Bear lives in a forest under the shadow of a mountain. She dreams of seeing a sunset and feeling the warm sun on her fur. So one day, fed up with the gloomy shadow, she decides there's only one thing to do: move the mountain!
She enlists the help of her forest friends, who agree to take on this seemingly impossible task. But after all their efforts fail, her exhausted friends decide that they don't mind the shadow after all. Bear alone keeps trying--only to eventually collapse in frustration.
When her friends gently lift her and carry her up to the top of the mountain, Bear sees the sunset for the very first time. She realizes that without the mountain this beautiful view wouldn't be possible, and she is finally able to let go of the shadow ... and her anger.
