A bear and a tree


Author: Stephen Michael King
Illustrator: Stephen Michael King
Publication Details: 2012, Viking, Camberwell
ISBN: 9780670075829 (hbk.)

On the first day of winter Bear finds Ren crying under her Favourite tree which is now leafless. Bear comforts Ren by spending the day with him. Ren's inquisitive mind leads them to making ornaments with icicles and  dancing in the snow.

This is a gentle magical story about friendship, empathy and fun. The illustrations show many small pictures showing the Bear and Ren's busy activity and other times it uses full pages of colour that makes the readers stop and reflect on feelings and events.
