Description

Baby Bear is off exploring on his own.

Tok!

Now what's this that just hit his head? Mmmm...it's a delicious red fruit. He must get more.

Up, up, up, to the top of the forest.

Hello Caterpillar! Hello Squirrel! Hello Bees!

Now what is that?

Why, it's the biggest red fruit of all! Baby Bear must have it. He leeeaaaps...

From award-winning Korean illustrator Lee Gee Eun comes a gorgeously illustrated story - delightful at every beat - about first discoveries and always landing in a safe place.
