Reach for this book when your child starts expressing anxiety about the future or notices that the people they love are getting older. It is an ideal choice for moments of transition, such as starting a new school year or coping with a grandparent's declining health, providing a gentle bridge to discuss how love endures through physical and situational changes. Through a series of 'what if' questions posed by a young bear to an elder, the story explores the inevitable shifts in life: growing taller, getting older, and eventually letting go.
