5 stars

An absolutely adorable story about anxiety, bravery, friendship, and doing hard things.

Bear would much rather stay home in his bathrobe than spend time outside with his friends. After all, anything can happen to a bear on the ice. But after his friends share what makes them feel safe and brave, Bear just might have what he needs to venture outdoors.

A delightful story both humorous and heartfelt. All of the characters are so sweet and I love how supportive Bear’s friends are. An absolutely wonderful book.

The artwork is so adorable. Humorous, colorful, and heart-warming.

Grab your bathrobe and settle in to enjoy this cozy little read with so much heart.
