A Forest Tale

Lisa Moroni, illustrated by Lisa Moroni

Summer is almost over, and the air is getting cold. Winter is coming and a bear goes into hibernation in the forest. She is waiting for spring and for her cub to be born. When Little Bear arrives, Mummy Bear tells him about the forest outside, about the soft moss and the old trees. And when spring comes, they go outside. But what has happened? Mummy Bear can’t see the forest anywhere! Where are all the trees, the anthill and the babbling brook?

Author and illustrator Lisa Moroni has created a poetic, magical and multi-layered picture book in vivid, enchanting colours. Delightful to read aloud for all ages about the conditions of nature and our civilisation, and the importance of keeping storytelling alive.
