The boy has a lot of questions-hard ones about love, honesty, grief and loss, prejudice, forgiveness, why we are here, and more.
Bear's wise answers are always offered with compassion and enthusiasm. The friendship between these two is deep, tender, and sometimes fun. Bear's clear, common-sense philosophy of life is a welcome contrast to the complex world our children face today.
On the beautifully illustrated pages, you will also meet Jay, Raccoon, Badger, Elder Moose, and others who add to the fun and adventure.
Walk with Boy and Bear for a while in the woods and see what you might learn about life, love and other stuff.
This uplifting book will surely become a treasured collection of simple wisdom, inspiring rich, meaningful conversations between adults and children alike.
"Its modern take on mindful thinking, understanding others, and coping with many of life's more puzzling dilemmas [is] perfect for book clubs as well as group and parental pursuit." -D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review
