A lyrical, heart-warming message of love from someone far away

When Big Bear and Little Bear have to say goodbye, Big Bear tells Little Bear about all the ways she''ll send a hug from afar:

I can change my hug into bird song early in the morning,
or into the sea so I can wave at you when you are on the beach.

Join Little Bear on his adventure to discover all the many different ways to feel a hug from a loved one, even when apart.

A soothing and uplifting story for every child who is missing someone.
