Bear Helps the Forest (Maybe You Help, Too)

Do you ever wonder what happens in the woods after the leaves fall? So does Bear.  After jumping in piles of leaves, she takes her winter sleep and hibernates, waking up to see the forest has already started to regrow.

A charming non-fiction picture book read to help children explore the life cycle of the forest, and what they can do to help protect it.

Bear loves jumping in leaf piles, but fall playtime ends with winter hibernation. When Bear wakes up she realizes it’ll be a while—through spring and summer—till the leaves will fall again. While she waits, she learns about the constant work the forest does to renew her playground—and how she helps. Alongside Bear squishing through springtime mud, chomping on summer dandelions, and stretching in the early fall sun, readers will see how the forest changes with every season.
