The Big Ol Bear

On one chilly November morning, little Tyler was not in the mood for anything-especially not leaving his warm, snuggly bed. But what started as an ordinary day at his great-grandmother Ruby's house quickly turned into a heartwarming holiday adventure he'd never forget.
When Tyler arrives at Nanny's feeling grumpy and missing his mama, nothing-not even hot cocoa or pickles-can lift his spirits. That is, until Nanny comes up with a plan involving his two favorite things: Christmas trees and Uncle Keith. But while decorating for the holidays, something unexpected jumps out of the box... and Tyler is convinced it's a big ol' bear
Inspired by a true family memory, The Big Ol Bear is a cozy, laugh-out-loud story about love, imagination, and the kind of everyday magic that turns a tiny field mouse into a grand childhood adventure. Perfect for children ages 2-8 and families who treasure multi-generational storytelling.
