If You Believe in Me
Rosemary Wells, the acclaimed author of Max & Ruby and Voyage to the Bunny Planet, once again brilliantly focuses on the small moments in a child's life that matter most, celebrating the quiet love that gives every one of us the strength to succeed. A young bear finds its way in the world with the support of the others in its life. A perfect gift to celebrate the milestones in a child's life or as a 'thank you' gift to a teacher, parent or anyone who has lifted another person up to succeed . . . because you believed in me.

"A precious book about a little brown bear, of no stated gender, feeling its way through the world all because of the confidence instilled in it by one of the adults who beams back in almost every page. Written in lightly rhyming verse, the text flips at the end, noting that the sentence "I believe in you" has been a mantra in the little one's entire life. Children will quickly make this book a favorite as the illustrations are inviting and dominate the majority of the page in bright colors with patterned backgrounds. . . . Children will be inspired to read about the exciting things they can do each day if they allow their creativity and confidence to take flight. - VERDICT: Add this book to all collections where Well's books are popular." School Library Journal
"The creamy palette and tender, recognizable childhood moments between attentive adult bears and the cub--at the dinner table, taking a walk--fit comfortably alongside other entries in Wells's oeuvre."-Publishers Weekly
"A small bear knows it can do almost anything -- from cartwheels to swimming -- "when you say/you believe in me." Wells' signature illustrations and a warm, easy rhyming narrative present an affirming book on the relationship between a child and their adult."-Reading Rockets
