The Bear and the Wildcat

Another gorgeous book from Gecko Press. Beautifully and sensitively illustrated by Komako Sakai, this is a touching story about loss, loneliness and new beginnings. - Stella

One morning the bear was crying. His friend, the little bird, was dead. When the little bird dies, the bear is inconsolable. Full of grief, he locks himself in his house and ventures out again only when the smell of young spring grass blows through his window. He meets a wildcat and finally feels understood. As the cat plays on her violin, the bear remembers all the beauty that he has experienced with the little bird. Now he can bury his friend, because he knows he'll always have his memories.
