Bear wakes up after his long winter’s sleep and joins his friend,
Butterfly, on a journey. Where are we going? Asks bear. All
journeys have secret destinations, says Butterfly. They walk
through the forest, climb a steep mountain and cross a great river.
At all points, Butterfly has wisdom to offer about overcoming
hardship, facing ones’ fears, or being in the moment. Bear is
impatient, but he listens and mulls over Butterfly’s insights. As
they walk, the seasons change; from spring to summer and then to
autumn. As the first snow begins to fall, Bear and Butterfly find
themselves outside a cave. Don’t I recognise this cave? asks
bear. Landscapes look different with different eyes, says
Butterfly. Bear curls up, his eyes heavy. Will you be here when I
wake up, he asks. In some senses yes and in some senses no, replies
Butterfly. The end of one journey is the beginning of another. This
is a heartwarming book about friendship and about circles and
cycles of life and being. It is a sweet and calming bedtime story
that introduces Buddhist philosophies and values to young readers.
