Luna is a little girl who lives in a distant cold land
where there is a great deal of ice and snow. Luna loves to “dance through the
snowflakes” in her wintery world, but more than anything else Luna loves to
spend time with Bear, who is big and white. Bear is her best friend and they do
everything together.
One day a bright
yellow flower pokes its head through the snow and Bear picks it and give it to
Luna. Luna loves the gift and plans on keeping it forever, but the flower dies
and Luna is bereft. Nothing Bear does cheers up the little girl, so Bear
decides that there is only one thing that he can do. Bear leaves Luna a note
telling her that he has gone “to find a sunshine flower.”
Luna waits and
waits for Bear to come home, but many days go by and there is no sign of her
dear friend.
True friendship is a precious thing, and this
picture book celebrates friendships with a delightful story and beautiful
illustrations. Children will enjoy seeing where Bear goes as he tries to find
another sunshine flower, and they will be delighted when they see how the story
ends.
