Together Forever Children's Book (Hardcover)

Together Forever takes place on a snowy night in the Arctic, with Little Bear playfully tumbling in the snow. Mother Bear warns him not to wander too far away, or he might get lost, and Little Bear worries about the possibility of not being able to find his mother.

Mother Bear gives him some excellent advice, which children hearing the story will hopefully remember: if he gets separated from her, he should sit down and look up at the stars, find the Great Bear and Little Bear stars, and wait for her to find him. The advice comes in handy when a blizzard blows through, and Little Bear gets distracted.

He realizes that he has lost Mother Bear, but instead of getting upset, he does just what she said to do: he stays put and looks at the stars. While trying to find the Great Bear and Little Bear stars, he sees a constellation in the sky that looks just like Little Bear and Mother Bear! Soon, his mother finds him, and he tells her how he saw the two of them in the sky, together forever.

The illustrations in Together Forever are just as lovely as the images from When Wishes Come True. The two bears are adorable, with beautifully textured fur, and soft, expressive faces. The Arctic landscape is big and beautiful, with dark starry skies that fill the page. In addition to offering some valuable advice, should a child ever get lost, the touching story also sends the message that a parent's love for their child is as eternal and expansive as the stars in the sky.

Ages 3-7 years; 32 pages
