In this universal celebration of community and love, Bear gathers his friends from near and far to mark the changing of the season.
Acclaimed author Lola M. Schaefer and award-winning artist Bethanne Andersen explores themes of empathy, hope, and peace in this breathtaking picture book that will bring joy to the holidays as well as year round storytimes.
On a cold winter morning, Bear welcomes a new star to the sky and searches for the perfect tree-a majestic evergreen-under which to host a celebration for everyone to enjoy. Almost as if by magic, guests start to arrive. They are feathered, furry, scaled-on the wing, on four paws, on two feet. They are young and old. They bring gifts. They bring love. They bring hope for peace.
The Bear and the Star is a stunning picture book from acclaimed author Lola M. Schaefer and award-winning artist Bethanne Andersen. With a focus on understanding, empathy, community, and hope, it's the ideal choice for family sharing during the holiday season and throughout the year.
