Old Bear sits inside, staring at gray skies. He hasn't gone outside in quite a while. So Little Bear decides it's time for a walk! The weather is windy and Old Bear isn't excited about being outdoors, but Little Bear persists and coaxes Old Bear into staying a little longer. Then, suddenly, a curious noise catches their ears-and it might just be what Old Bear could use to cheer up.
This tender and kindhearted tale is perfectly pitched for cheering up a loved one on a gloomy day and will resonate with anyone who has ever found joy and purpose in music.
"This charming, uplifting story, narrated in first-person present tense by Little Bear, isn’t only about music’s transformative power. It’s also about how children can help brighten the outlooks of older adults—relatives or otherwise—and give their lives meaningful purpose." —Kirkus Reviews
"...a classic feel, featuring black linework filled in with muted colors and scenes that highlight the busy visual qualities of cityscapes, wallpapers, and patterned textiles." —The Bulletin
