So Cute!!!

I've been looking for a book with my name for the longest time and it was so adorable! This is a really cute story and I highly recommend it!

Sweet story

A nice story with lovely illustrations. Perfect for that sensitive child that may need some comforting.

Delicate and Sweet

We just received this book and I am pleasantly surprised. The story revolves around a little girl, Bruna, who lives all alone and is always cold. No matter what she does, she can not get warm. One day, little Bruna rescues a friendly bear drowning in the icy river. She brings him to her home and covers him with her many blankets and cares for him, nurturing him with homemade soup, reading him stories etc. The bear quickly warms up and recovers, and the two form a friendship which warms them both. Bruna plays with the bear and slowly she warms up, revealing a happy free young girl instead of the lonely, sheltered and cold girl we originally see. My 4 year old really relates to the little girl "taking care of" the bear. The illustrations are delicate and timeless. Bruna and the bear are both very likeable. This is a good bedtime story and a very sweet read celebrating friendship.
