A boy's usual routine is shaken up by the sudden appearance of a bear in this award-winning Danish picture book about embracing surprise, adapting to change, and welcoming new friendships
In a house where everything is arranged just so, there lives a boy whose days are filled with peace, quiet, and solitude. Every morning, he wakes up and follows the exact same routine, without fail . . . until the day something new appears, out of the blue: a bear!
In this imaginative and empowering picture book, a meticulous child steps out of his comfort zone of control and opens himself up to unfamiliar and unexpected experiences.
Thanks to author Bach-Lauritsen's poetic text, fluidly translated by Goldman from Danish to English, and the spare, highly communicative, and absorbing illustrations from Kirkus Prize for Young Readers finalist Kjaergaard, this is a sensitive, encouraging story about how embracing change can lead to trust and friendship!
