(Juvenile Picture Books - Ej Dav)
A melancholy bear shares her adventures as she forgoes hibernation in order to travel south in search of her friend, Bird, who has migrated away. This picturebook showcases a fantastical world reminiscent of the world built by Maurice Sendak in Where the Wild Things Are. Recommended for ages 6-9
