Somewhere for Little Bear

 
　　在森林的深處，有隻小熊快樂地住在一個舒適的洞穴裡。白天他會去摘摘野莓，傍晚他會窩在他最喜歡的樹下聽鳥兒唱歌。到了該睡覺的時間，他會舒服地躺在柔軟的樹葉上進入夢鄉。
 
　　但某個早上，小熊發現他最心愛的森林竟然燃起熊熊大火，他只好趕緊逃離他心愛的窩。他走啊走，想為自己找到一個新家，但每當他找到一個看起來不錯的地方，就會有小動物提出抗議。兔子說：「走開！去找你自己的洞穴！」
 
　　小熊只好繼續流浪，最後，在一個完全陌生的森林裡，他有了完全不同的人生際遇……

A heartwarming migration story of connection and belonging, beautifully brought to life by prolific picture book author-illustrator Britta Teckentrup.

Little Bear lives happily in his cozy cave deep in the woods. He loves picking berries during the day, listening to the birds sing under his favorite tree in the evening, and curling up comfily on his soft leaves to sleep each night.

But when Bear wakes up one morning to find his beloved forest ablaze, he must make a quick escape, away from his cozy cave, friendly faces and the comforts he knows.

He walks and walks in search of somewhere new to call home, but finds he’s not welcome in the places that look most familiar to him.

Feeling hopeless and alone, Little Bear must journey even further into the unknown. And only in the most unfamiliar of places, does the kindness of new animal friends lead Little Bear to discover the true meaning of home . . .

Brought to life by award-winning author-illustrator Britta Teckentrup, this is a heartwarming story of connection, friendship, and belonging.
