The Night Bear
The Night Bear is a true friend who lights up my nights, and my days too. He is with me every day; you could say he belongs to me. But little by little, as I grow up, the Night Bear drifts away and becomes so small. So small that, eventually, I no longer need him.
A story that deals with the affection for a cuddly toy, and how it secretly supports the child's development, providing comfort both day and night until the child grows up and no longer needs it.
A tender book about friendship, self-confidence, and the passing of time.THE AUTHOR
