The Bear And The Piano

The Bear And The PianoAuthor(s): David LitchfieldOne day, a bear cub finds something strange and wonderful in the forest. When he touches the keys, they make a horrible noise. Yet he is drawn back again and again. Eventually, he learns to play beautiful sounds, delighting his woodland friends.                 Then the bear is invited to share his sounds with new friends in the city. He longs to explore the world beyond his home, and to play bigger and better than before. But he knows that if he leaves, the other bears will be very sad . . .            This gorgeously illustrated tale of following one’s dreams reminds us of the value of friendship, wherever we go.Review(s):All the Wonders, Best of 2016 Picture Books  Amazon Overall Top 20 Children’s Books of 2016  Amazon, Best Children’s Books of the Year Ages 3 to 5  Kirkus Best of 2016  School Library Journal’s Fuse#8 Best of 2016   * "Litchfield’s multilayered mixed-media illustrations gracefully portray dappled forest groves, the en
