Little Bear and the Big Hole

When Little Bear’s father dies, a Big Hole appears and won’t go away. Most other animals ignore the hole, but one day Squirrel comes and sits with Little Bear. With Squirrel next to him, it is easier somehow, and they talk about the hole together. And day by day, the hole grows smaller. Beautiful watercolor artwork underlines this transformative story of grief and healing.

Jennifer Seal studied musical theater and opera and sang stories for a living. It took a while for her to realise that what she really wanted to do was write. She lives in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she can be found surrounded by wonderfully ordinary and wildly extraordinary characters, real and imagined. Some of them end up in her books if she can catch them.
