A delightful new picture book that encourages readers to step outside of their comfort zone with the help of a security blanket and some good pals, from powerhouse creator Maddie Frost.

It's wintertime and Bear is ready to stay indoors and cozy up in his bathrobe until spring. His bathrobe is the ultimate indoor experience because it keeps his ears toasty, has pockets for all of his snacking essentials, and allows for maximum relaxation all season long.

His friends look like they're having so much fun skating outside, and he could join them if he wanted to, but he's too busy having quality indoor alone time in his bathrobe to even think about going out into the wild. Besides, what if he fell and hurt himself, or slipped through the ice, or skated too far away from home? Winter is clearly the time for hibernation, not outdoor adventures.

But when Bear's friends share what makes them feel safe when they tackle new and sometimes scary experiences, Bear might just be ready to venture into the great outdoors and risk falling on the ice.

Maddie Frost's new picture book invites readers to courageously tackle new--and slightly frightening--experiences and reminds them that it's not about whether you fall or not, but how you get back up.

Praise for Bear in a Bathrobe

Praise for Wombats!: Go Camping by Maddie Frost:

"This adventure is gentle and light . . . this graphic novel is rife with humor . . . The protagonists respectfully acknowledge each other’s preferences and value their friendship. The virtues of seeking and leaving one’s comfort zone are both on display during this amusing outdoor trip." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Maddie Frost:

"A variety of digital, mixed-media sea creatures with comical facial expressions enliven the ocean scenes . . . [The book] has a breezy drollery about finding inner peace and going with the flow—perhaps everyone could use a little jelly."—School Library Journal on Just Be Jelly

"The luminous, mixed-media illustrations in saturated full color and an inviting cartoon style are filled with crowded sea life and comic details. Hilarious, with an underlying lesson that staying in the moment and being brave can help you if you’re beset by a panic attack."-Booklist on Just Be Jelly

"Swipe this one off the shelf for a belly-laugh-inducing beach read."-Kirkus Reviews on Smug Seagull

"Full of comedic antics . . . This is a quick summertime romp for future fans of Dav Pilkey."-BCCB on Smug Seagull

"[A] laugh-along picture book . . . Bright and filled with movement."-Booklist

"An enjoyable, comical tale."-School Library Journal
