When all the trees blow down during a storm, Little Bear and Big Bear need to move to a new home. But Big Bear is compassionate and reassuring, and Little Bear feels safe. The themes of security, comfort, and the meaning of home are overt throughout the calm text. Warm illustrations emanate the bears' closeness and affection.
