A polar bear can't find his way home. After searching through shops and streets for a friendly face, he meets a little girl who offers a hand and gives him help. This book is a great reminder that many people around us can feel lost and all they might need is a friendly face to help them get back home. With some kindness and compassion, Bear found what he needed.

This is a great book for kids across the ages, especially when learning about treating others the way we want to be treated. I thought this book was a great representation of showing compassion and kindness to those around us, especially those struggling. We have all related to Bear at some point in our lives. This book is a great metaphor for this and benefits kids and adults alike.
