Winner at the 2016 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. A strange news causes a great uproar in the forest. Bear has entrusted a dream to White Owl: FLYING! An emotional tale about the benefits of teamwork, and the importance of fighting for your dreams, however impossible they may seem.
That morning, the animals in the forest discover that Bear has confided a secret to Owl: ‘Bear wants to fly!’ Amazed by the news, some animals think that Bear’s dream is impossible, unattainable, but there are many others determined to try to help his friend and fulfill his dream. Although they not all of them agree, there is something more important than their own opinions, something that unites them all, and that is their love and trust for their friend Bear. Whatever the result, why not give it a try? The animals, excited to do everything in their power to help their friend, come up with a plan… As the sun begins to rise over the forest, the excited Raccoon wakes up Bear. The mission is about to begin!
