Bear-Shaped Hole
€ 9.99
ISBN: 9780711296602
A beautiful companion title to the critically acclaimed The Hare-Shaped Hole , The Bear-Shaped Hole is a profound, heart-warming story that helps children understand and prepare for loss.
Gerda and Orlo are best bear friends. When Gerda was there, Orlo always had time for a game or a story, a joke or a rhyme. He was never too busy to listen, to talk, to help, to share, or to go for a walk. But slowly, something starts to change. Orlo reveals he is ill, and as he softly explains to Gerda, he is not going to get better. Gerda is overwhelmed by emotions she cannot quite explain, but Orlo gently helps her prepare, so they can spend their time together making memories that will last a lifetime. When the time comes, Gerda can fill the Bear-Shaped hole in her life with the special moments she shared with Orlo.
This brand new picture book is the latest powerful and moving tale from John Dougherty and Thomas Docherty, the award-winning creators of The Hare-Shaped Hole . This sensitively written and beautifully illustrated story explores the process of preparing for loss as well as the experience of loss itself.
