Baby Bear

Kadir Nelson is an award-winning author and illustrator best known for his work bringing to life African American history and culture. Here he tries his hand at something new- a simple bedtime story. The tale of Baby Bear's search for home is simple, but the pictures are absolutely breathtaking. The midnight blue sky, the brilliant moon and the wonderful detail and expression of the animals are mesmerizing. The two-page spread close-up of Baby Bear, moon reflected in his eyes, is simply spectacular.  Reading this book is like soaking up a beautiful summer night.
