Big Bear and Little Fish
Il Sung Na
(Illustrator)
Description
Friendship comes in all sizes.
Bear loves being big! At the carnival, Bear wants to win a teddy bear as big as she is. Instead, she gets a fish. A very little fish. Bear is so very big and Fish is so very small that Bear worries they have nothing in common.
But although Fish might look small, she proves to be bigger than Bear ever thought she could be. And Bear learns that sometimes even a big bear can be small in the big, wide world. With the help of Fish, Bear learns that even though she and Fish are different, they are also a little the same.
Gentle, accessible prose by Sandra Nickel is paired with richly textured illustrations by Il Sung Na in this sweet story about accepting others for who they are.
Big Bear and Little Fish was named a Charlotte Huck Award Recommended Book by the National Council of Teachers of English. The Charlotte Huck Award recognizes fiction that has the "potential to transform children''s lives by inviting compassion, imagination, and wonder."

Reviews
"A delightful tale of unexpected friendship."--Kirkus Reviews
-- (7/15/2022 12:00:00 AM)"The expressive, stylized art makes excellent use of color, and, like the well-worded narrative, it contrasts the small but confident fish with the large yet tentative bear . . . Fun for reading aloud."-- Booklist
-- (9/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)"This story showcases our similarities, even if we might not see them at first glance, opening the door to discussion about how we connect with each other more deeply than appearances."--Children's Literature
