The Bear Who Loved the Moon

A Little Winter's Tale

Illustrated by Alice Courtley
Join Bear, a lovable but lonely character, on his journey to find the love of his life, the Moon.

After searching far and wide, up snow-dusted mountains, through raging rainstorms, and across a sparkling icy lake, he discovers that perhaps everything he needs is right under his huge bear nose.


The Bear Who Loved the Moon is a beautiful tale of the journey to finding happiness and peace. It's a must read for children and adults feeling isolated and lost, showing them that light will always outweigh the dark, even when it's difficult to see the path ahead. In Bear, readers will find a companion, friend, and mentor who provides much-needed loyalty, love, and wisdom.


The first in a quartet of seasonal tales, this winter fable makes for an enchanting bedtime story to lull little ones into blissful sleep. Interwoven with entrancing illustrations, this book is the perfect gift for anyone seeking a little hope and comfort.
Auriol Bishop grew up climbing trees and reading books — sometimes both at once! — and now brings the same sense of imagination and love of nature to her writing. She worked for many years in book publishing, as well as running children’s creative writing classes and even starting a book festival, before becoming an author herself. In both fiction and non-fiction, her enchanting books soothe, captivate and gently encourage us to look at the world with eyes wide open to the beauty all around. View titles by Auriol Bishop
