About The Book
"A wonderful book for kids to curl up with at bedtime" - The Observer
"Full of delight and warmth and tenderness" - Sunday Times
On Monday, a boy finds a polar bear in his garden... only, this polar bear is so small he can fit in the palm of the boy's hand. "Are you lost, Little Bear?" the boy asks. "Can I help you?"
Day by day the bear grows - and so does their friendship - until the boy realises that it's time for the bear to go home.
A tender, stunningly illustrated fable about letting go with love from the creator of Perdu.

About The Author

Born in Warwickshire, Richard Jones has been living and working in Devon for over 20 years. After leaving university with a degree in graphic design and illustration, he stayed on a little longer to complete a PhD. He spent several years working in a busy children’s library, issuing and shelving other artists’ picture books before one day wondering if it wasn’t about time he had a proper go at creating one or two himself! He now writes and illustrates from the smallest room in his home. Across the roof tops of Exeter, and between the rounded Devon hills, he can just about make out the distant sparkling sea.
