Mais quand cet ours est transporte dans un autre monde, il realise qu’on ne tombe pas toujours au bon endroit. Pourtant, parfois, la vie est exaltante, palpitante et mouvementee comme un vol de papillon, plus rapide que l’imagination. Cet ours reussira-t-il a trouver son chemin?
Preparez-vous a bondir d’une vie a l’autre en accompagnant cet ami a fourrure dans son parcours etonnant. Cette histoire delicate met en lumiere les changements de la vie auxquels nous faisons face et la facon dont nous pouvons nous en accommoder.
Traversing through rushing rivers, mighty mountains, and forests full of tall trees: oh, to live the life of a bear! But when this bear is catapulted from one world into another, he realizes that we don’t always tumble and land in perfect places. We may feel that life is soaring, skipping, and fluttering like a butterfly, faster than we can imagine. Will this bear manage to find his way? Get ready to tumble from one life to another as you accompany this furry friend on his special journey through life.
This delicately imagined story beautifully highlights the changes we go through in life, and our innate powers of adaptation. A lyrical book, describing universal feelings with unique details and elements.
