About This Book

As winter approaches, Bear has a story he wants to share, but all his friends are too busy preparing for the cold season ahead. Mouse needs to gather seeds, Duck is flying south, and Mole is digging a den. Bear patiently waits through the long winter, and when spring finally arrives, his friends are ready to listen at last.

Why We Love This

The Steads' trademark gentle storytelling shines here, and the message about patience and friendship resonates with kids. The seasonal arc from fall to spring makes it a year-round favorite.
