About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the ups and downs of a close friendship, especially after a silly argument or a day where they felt misunderstood. Bear and Bird are the best of friends, but they are also beautifully imperfect. Through four short stories, they navigate the aftermath of a fight, accidental missed connections, and the pressure of trying to make a perfect moment even better. It is a gentle, humorous look at how even the strongest bonds require patience and a sense of humor. Ideal for children ages 5 to 8, this collection normalizes the fact that friends can get their wires crossed without it being the end of the world. It is a perfect choice for modeling how to apologize, how to laugh at your own mistakes, and how to appreciate the person standing right in front of you.
