Written by David McPhail
A bear dreams of art, defying his nature.
In a world where bears follow tradition, one young bear dares to dream beyond the forest. As he sketches rocks, trees, and even dinosaurs, he embarks on a journey to become an artist. Will his passion for drawing lead him to a new path, or will he remain bound by the expectations of his kind? Discover how creativity can transform even the most unlikely of artists in this whimsical tale of imagination and self-discovery.
A young bear begins to make claw marks on the floor during his usual “how to be a bear” lessons. Soon he’s collecting paper and drawing rocks, trees, clouds, birds, and even dinosaurs as he dreams of becoming an artist. With characteristic whimsey and lively watercolors, David McPhail portrays the unusual life of an artist who just happens to have been a bear, and tells how you can be an artist, too.
