Official synopsis Publisher
A delightful new picture book that encourages readers to step outside of their comfort zone with the help of a security blanket and some good pals, from powerhouse creator Maddie Frost.
It’s wintertime and Bear is ready to stay indoors and cozy up in his bathrobe until spring. His bathrobe is the ultimate indoor experience because it keeps his ears toasty, has pockets for all of his snacking essentials, and allows for maximum relaxation all season long.
His friends look like they’re having so much fun skating outside, and he could join them if he wanted to, but he’s too busy having quality indoor alone time in his bathrobe to even think about going out into the wild. Besides, what if he fell and hurt himself, or slipped through the ice, or skated too far away from home? Winter is clearly the time for hibernation, not outdoor adventures.
But when Bear’s friends share what makes them feel safe when they tackle new and sometimes scary experiences, Bear might just be ready to venture into the great outdoors and risk falling on the ice.
Maddie Frost’s new picture book invites readers to courageously tackle new–and slightly frightening–experiences and reminds them that it’s not about whether you fall or not, but how you get back up.
