'A sensitive script, touches of humor, and a captivating design combine for an excursion readers will want to repeat.' - Kirkus Starred Review
'Children will ponder decision-making, choices, goals and the meaning of life in this thought-provoking narrative journey into the importance of friendship and trust.' - School Reading List
Bear wakes up after his long winter’s sleep and joins his friend, Butterfly, on a journey. ‘Where are we going?’ asks Bear. ‘All journeys have secret destinations’, says Butterfly. As they travel through forest, over hill and across a great river, Butterfly offers her wisdom about hardships, facing one’s fears and living in the moment. Bear’s natural impatience gradually softens into acceptance of the world around him.
As the seasons change, the friends find themselves once more in front of Bear’s cave. Landscapes look different with different eyes and the end of one journey is the beginning of another.
This is a heartwarming book about the circles and cycles of life and being. A gentle and inspiring way to introduce Buddhist philosophies and values to young readers.
