Full Description
The Bear and the Colour Thief
A colourful adventure about friendship, forgiveness and finding joy again!
Welcome to Rainbow Woods, a beautiful forest bursting with colour, wonderful creatures and a very special Bear!
But when a series of unexpected mishaps leaves Bear feeling hurt and upset, something rather strange begins to happen. The beautiful colours of Rainbow Woods start to disappear, and the forest that was once so bright and cheerful becomes a much gloomier place.
Can Bear find a way to bring the colours back?
The Bear and the Colour Thief is a beautifully illustrated children's book that takes little readers on a heartwarming journey of friendship, feelings and forgiveness. With the help of wise Owl, Bear begins to discover that holding on to hurt can steal away our joy, but choosing to forgive can help bring colour and happiness back into our lives.
With its gorgeous illustrations, lovable woodland characters and thoughtful message, this enchanting story is a wonderful way to help children explore their emotions, understand the importance of forgiveness and discover the freedom that comes from letting go.
Perfect for reading aloud, sharing together and sparking lovely conversations about friendship, kindness and those sometimes tricky feelings we all experience.
