Lena and the Bear

A heartwarming tale of friendship, freedom and learning to love the wild

An enchanting tale of unlikely friendship, freedom and learning when to let go – the perfect gift book to treasure for any age.

When Lena rescues an injured bear alone in the forest, she welcomes him into her home and her heart, filling his days with stories and hoping he stays forever. But the bear longs to return to the wilderness he calls home.

From Carnegie Medal winner, Katya Balen and acclaimed artist, Laura Carlin, this is a stunning, deeply moving modern fable that celebrates the beauty of nature, compassion and the quiet strength it takes to let go – a gorgeous wintry gift book, perfect for fans of Charlie Mackesy, Robert Macfarlane and Nicola Davies.
