The ‘Little Bear’ books, with their soft illustrations and the portrayal of a beautiful bond between parent and child, are classics! In this, by far the most read of the series in our house, Little Bear is afraid of the dark and can’t get to sleep. In the end, we see that it’s not fixing the problem with more light, but the comfort of Big Bear’s arms around him that he needs. It's a beautiful reminder that in scary situations, it’s not always what we choose to do, but who we have standing with us, that makes the difference.
