Bear's heart is heavy and full of sads, like when your brand-new toy breaks on the first day or your friend sits with someone else, except this time Bear doesn't know why. Their best friend Bunny tries everything to cheer them up: thinking of Bear's favorite food, telling a joke, meditating, exercising, picking up a new hobby, but nothing works. Finally, Bunny gives up and sits quietly with Bear, and that is what ends up helping Bear feel better. Using a mix of hand painting and digital techniques in calming colors like denim blue, lemon yellow, and lavender, the artwork gently conveys the same sweet and earnest tone as the lyrical prose. There are even adorable endpapers that wordlessly follow another friendship between bees as they journey through the sads together. This gentle read-aloud about a melancholy bear and their well-intentioned friend has powerful and age-appropriate messaging for classroom and library settings or lap-time cuddles, and its patient storytelling makes it perfect for a meaningful discussion with little ones and their big feelings.
