Letters from Bear
by Gauthier David (Author) and Marie Caudry (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Bear can’t imagine a whole winter without her friend, so when Bird migrates south, Bear decides to follow. She’s never left the forest before, but that won’t stop her from crossing oceans and mountains–and sending letters along the way. But a surprise is waiting for Bear on the beach . . .
Three days before the birth of their child Arto, Marie began a series of paintings about globe-trotting bears–and these paintings inspired Gauthier to write this story!
Snippet:
Hello Bird,
I’m the first one up.
I found a carpet of strawberries and vines
close to the hole where I dozed off.
I’m going to make breakfast for all the guests who are still asleep.
I wish I could share all of these experiences with you.
I miss you.
Yours,
Bear
