Skofield’s writing is tender and, with adult guidance, accessible to young readers who may be dealing with the death of an elderly loved one. A new friendship emerges as Bird shows Bear’s granddaughter the way to the best berries. The granddaughter bear helps Bird through his grief by encouraging him to remember the good times that they shared. Instead, he finds Bear’s granddaughter, who explains to him that Bear has died.
Sadly, Bird migrates south, and when he returns, he cannot find Bear. And so it goes for a few years, but then age begins to catch up with Bear. They are sad when Bird flies off for the winter, but Bear hibernates, and come spring, their friendship resumes. “Even readers who wouldn’t mind a smart crayon of their own should see the value in that.Old Bear and baby Bird become close friends.Īfter Bear returns unsuccessful fledgling Bird to his nest, they forge a friendship based on a strong commitment to helping each other find the best berries and avoid hunters.
