About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing a streak of independence that makes your heart skip a beat, or when you want to reassure a 'wanderer' that you are always looking out for them. It is an ideal pick for those high-energy days when a child needs to focus their attention on something intricate and calming before bedtime. The story follows Papa Bear as he wakes from hibernation to find Little Bear has chased a bee all the way into the big city. Through lush, oversized illustrations, we follow their parallel journeys through a busy opera house and onto the city rooftops. While it touches on the anxiety of being separated, the tone remains whimsical and adventurous. It perfectly captures the balance between a child's drive to explore and a parent's devotion to keeping them safe, making it a comforting choice for preschoolers navigating their first steps of independence.
