In the
delicately illustrated pages of this black and white picture book, debut
author/illustrator Jo Weaver gives readers the personal journey of a mother
bear and her cub traveling through the seasons of the year.
Big Bear is
a gentle guide and teacher as her Little One sees, hears, and experiences life
for the first time. The two explore the forests, rivers, lakes, and everything
in them. From the awakening of spring to the falling of heavy snowflakes, Big
Bear shows her curious cub many of the joys and surprises of the wide world.
Through the
stunning charcoal artwork and simple yet lyrical language, Jo Weaver reveals
the wonder of nature, the first steps of independence, and the strength of
parental love.
Little One is a thoughtful tale of
discovery, and we are eagerly awaiting its release date, March 1
st.

list for this year, and look for your own copy this spring!
