Follow Bear as he visits animal habitats around the world—and comes to appreciate his own home—in this new offering from the creator of A Book of Sleep and A Book of Babies.
 
Bear is tired of waking up every morning in the same green forest, so he decides to search for a new place to live. He visits the birds in the trees, a mole underground, a camel in the hot desert sand, puffins in the cold arctic snow . . . only to realize his own home is the perfect place for him after all. Welcome Home, Bear offers rich illustrations, bright colors, and a simple, spare text—all wrapped up in a beautiful, kid-friendly package. Readers meet animals in their habitats around the world—and return with Bear to the one place he is truly happy.

Praise for Welcome Home, Bear

"Il Sung Na's illustrative art is so joyous, so jubilantly colorful, it feels celebratory and poetic even when the story is simple and spare."--The Boston Globe, on A Book of Babies

"Richly layered, cohesive artwork that captures the kaleidoscopic beauty of the animal kingdom."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred, on A Book of Babies

"It's the rare picture book that, upon arrival, feels as though it has been around for years already; Na's belongs to this group."--Publishers Weekly, Starred, on A Book of Sleep
