Description

Bear is a wordless picture book for adults that explores depression through the story of a bear struggling with a cone covering his head. The author's personal experience inspired this debut book, which offers a deeply affecting and recognizable portrayal of mental illness.

The bear's frustration and anger are palpable as he stomps, yells, and tears at the cone, while also being drawn to dark and wild places. However, when he hears the humming of music from a friendly hare, his emotions begin to shift. The book is both an emotional gut punch and a warm embrace, one that will resonate with anyone who has suffered or loved someone who has suffered in similar ways.
