About This Book
Parents can reach for this book when their child is feeling sad about outgrowing a beloved toy, a favorite pair of shoes, or an old habit. The story follows Little Bear, who loves his boat more than anything. As he grows bigger, he can no longer fit, and he must grapple with the bittersweet reality of leaving something precious behind. This gentle book beautifully explores themes of change, resilience, and the process of letting go. For children ages 3 to 6, it provides a comforting model for how to handle the sadness of growing up, reframing the experience not just as a loss, but as an opportunity to find joy in kindness and giving.
