Bookroo's summary

Coco and Bear's snowy adventure turns into a lesson on listening and teamwork. As they build a snow castle with friends, Coco's enthusiasm leads to conflict. Bear's frustration erupts, causing a rift. Can they mend their friendship and learn to share ideas? Discover how they navigate misunderstandings and find harmony in the snow.

From the publisher

Coco and Bear have their first argument in this heartwarming picture book about friendship, communication, and fun in the snow from the creator of Ruby’s Tools for Making Friends and the New York Times bestseller Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light. Coco and Bear can’t wait to build a snow castle with their friends Baby Deer and Quilber. But as construction begins, Coco starts to turn their castle into a fort and gets too carried away to listen to Bear when he tries to share his ideas. At last, sweet Bear loses his temper and shouts: “LISTEN TO ME, COCO!” Frustrated and hurt, Coco stomps off to build on her own. But after talking with Baby Deer and Quilber, Coco and Bear soon realize they both were in the wrong. They reunite and forgive each other. But to work together, they’ll have to find a new way to listen and take turns speaking what’s in their hearts.
