    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 is a storyteller from London whose favourite stories are about nature. Her father once gave Father Christmas a ride into town in his pony and cart, so perhaps it’s no surprise that she grew up to write books about Christmas! As well as DK’s beautiful An Anthology of Christmas, she is the author of Christmas is Coming: A Treasury of Simple Ways to Celebrate Festive Days. And look out for her winter storybook The Bear Who Loved the Moon, also published by DK, with irresistible illustrations by Alice Courtley. View titles by Auriol Bishop
