A mother and her boy are camping, the boy is scared of jumping into the lake. A mother bear and her cub are scavenging, the cub is scared about jumping into a dumpster. But when the boy takes a load of trash to the dumpster, he discovers that the baby bear can't get out and the mother bear is worried. So the boy and his mom come up with a plan. 

Told mostly through the illustrations, this nearly wordless book can spark great discussions about empathy, fear, even cause/effect.
