ABOUT THE BOOK
The bear from David’s award-winning book, LEAVES, is back! It’s his second year, and there’s nothing his growling tummy wants more than honey. But it’s not time for honey yet. Luckily, the spring world around him is full of things to explore….A fun read aloud as well as a meditation on patience and living a full life.
