About the Author
Reviews
"In Nelson's hands, the natural world is enviably ruled by kind intentions and respect."--New York Times Book Review
"A final picture book, filled with moody, sumptuous paintings, evokes the feelings of trust and vulnerability that small children are liable to experience in a world so much bigger than they are."--Wall Street Journal
"Kadir Nelson's exquisitely understated picture book charts a bear cub's journey to find his home, with helpful advice from his fellow woodland creatures."--Shelf Awareness
"The award-winning Nelson turns from nuanced treatments of historical subjects to this exploration of a classic preschool trope: a lost animal's search for home. . . . Resonant."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Nelson builds his tale on the simplest bedtime-story scaffolding: a bear cub loses its way home and asks other forest animals for help. What distinguishes Nelson's creation is an atmosphere of loving-kindness and the affirmation of Baby Bear's ability to make the journey alone."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
