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)


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


Nelson's luscious oils on canvas are as breathtaking as ever, and his superb, almost life-sized, depictions of these creatures in their natural environment hold a wonder of their own. --School Library Journal 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 In Nelson's hands, the natural world is enviably ruled by kind intentions and respect. --New York Times Book Review 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)
