An extraordinary tale of the search for love, friendship, happiness, peace… and the Moon!

Join Bear, a lovable but lonely character, on his extraordinary journey to find the love of his life, the Moon.

After searching far and wide, up snow-dusted mountains, through raging rainstorms, and across a sparkling icy lake, he discovers that perhaps everything he needs is right under his huge bear nose.

The Bear Who Loved the Moon is a beautiful tale of the journey to finding happiness and peace. It's a must read for children and adults feeling isolated and lost, showing them that light will always outweigh the dark, even when it's difficult to see the path ahead. In Bear, readers will find a companion, friend, and mentor who provides much-needed loyalty, love, and wisdom.

This winter fable makes for an enchanting bedtime story to lull little ones into a blissful sleep. Interwoven with entrancing illustrations by Alice Courtley, this book is the perfect gift for anyone seeking a little hope and comfort.

Praise for The Bear Who Loved the Moon

The Bear Who Loved The Moon is a truly beautiful read; telling the story of a bear who is always there to help everyone and who is in love with the moon. When winter approaches, his friends migrate or hibernate and when bear decides to follow the moon he finds himself lost and alone… how will he survive and will anyone help him now? Auriol Bishop’s prose is pitch perfect for 7-9 year olds and will be ideal as a bedtime read for an emerging independent reader who needs a slightly longer book but this would also make a great year 2- year 3 class read with wonderful vocabulary and an important message Whilst Alice Courtley’s illustrations are captivating and heart-warming - Bear’s emotions leap off the page. A great autumnal winter read - highly recommended Thank you to DK children and NetGalley for the advance copy
