Bookroo's summary

Coco and her friend Bear face a challenge: the other animals think Bear is mean due to his size. Inspired by her grandmother's wisdom, Coco and Bear attempt to win them over with cookies and lanterns. When their efforts fail, they must find a new way to share kindness and light. As they navigate this journey, Coco and Bear uncover the true essence of kindness, realizing it’s a heartfelt gift. Will they succeed in changing perceptions and bringing warmth to their world?

From the publisher

“It’s impossible to resist [this book’s] big-hearted appeal.” –BookPage A little girl and her friend Bear learn the true meaning of selfless kindness in this sweet, stunningly illustrated debut picture book. Bear is sad. All the other animals think he’s mean because he’s so big. But his human friend, Coco, offers to help him. Coco shares her grandmother’s advice: “When life gets dark as winter’s night, share some kindness, bring some light.” They decide to bake cookies to “share some kindness” and make lanterns to “bring some light.” But when the cookies and lanterns don’t work, they must look for another way to win over the other animals. And while they’re at it, Coco and Bear just might discover that kindness is a gift that only comes from the heart.
