Bear By Himself

ISBN 978-2-981959-80-5

There are times when a bear has to be alone with himself, to think his own thoughts, and sing his own songs. Whether watching the wind, smelling the rain, or talking to a river, Bear is happy to take time alone to look around and contemplate his world — a wonderful message in this age of busyness. Geoffrey Hayes illustrates this gentle ode to solitude in jewel-like color and intricate detail.

Review

“Presented in shades of jade, each painting is framed and presented on a white background, accompanied by a short text — a sentence at most — that ensures an identifiable link to its visual. This album wraps around you like a blanket with an omnipresent sweetness throughout the cub’s solitary and soothing journey.” — Le
