Goodbye, Bear

“Bear died on a Friday,
while sunlight speckled the grass...
and caterpillars nibbled leaves in the forest.”

Bear dies, and his friends, Beaver and Mole, must come to terms with their loss. The two miss him and talk about him, and do things in memory of him over the course of a year, and the loss of Bear becomes easier to accept.

A beautifully written and thoughtful look at loss for young children. The ending is transcendent.
