When You Meet a Bear on Broadway

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elivia Savadier. A diminutive bear is searching the city for his mother. Hest's no-nonsense, direct-address text ("When you meet a bear on Broadway, this is what to do") clues readers that everything will turn out okay. Savadier's thin pencil lines and soft watercolor washes in warm golden hues provide both action and comfort, capturing the feel of New York in autumn.
