Bear Shaped

Bear Shaped by Dawn Coulter - Cruttenden
 
Jack and Bear are inseparable. Bear helps Jack feel brave, safe, and understood – until one day Bear goes missing, leaving behind a bear-shaped hole that feels far too big to fill. As word spreads, messages of kindness and replacement bears arrive from all over the world, gently helping Jack heal. But none of them are his Bear. Inspired by a true story, this tender, beautifully told picture book explores love, loss, community kindness, and how compassion can grow even from heartbreak.
