Once I Was a Bear

Once I lived in a forest of tall trees . . .

A little bear passes the days splashing, climbing, tumbling and thumping, feeling safe and surrounded by forest friends. When he senses change in the air, it’s time to curl up for a long, deep sleep. But when he wakes, he’s a boy in a different world, one with loud noises, tall towers and strange faces. Can he find a way to feel the same again?

This sensitively imagined story encourages anyone who reads it find their own way to be joyfully at home in the world.
