No Bear Anywhere

A young boy learns to cope with disappointment and embrace the unexpected in this playful and charming picture book. When Bruin’s family takes a walk on Bear Creek Trail, Bruin is determined to spot a bear. Before too long, Bruin gets excited: he´s noticed a . . . pinecone! It´s not a bear, but it´s still great. A few minutes later, Bruin stops once again! He´s seen a . . . flower! No bear anywhere, but there´s still plenty of time. Eventually, they make it all the way to the . . . cave! But when Bruin enters the cave, and there is no bear anywhere, he´s as sad as could be. This day is not going his way. Can Bruin turn his no-bear day around? (And when all is said and done, maybe, just maybe, it won´t be a no-bear day after all!) Leah Gilbert´s gorgeous art shines in this heartfelt story about finding wonder and joy in the world around us, even when life takes unexpected turns.
