Ragamuffin Books
"A gentle and sensitive story of a little mouse’s journey through childhood and the seasons, his fears, and the eventual comfort he finds, beautifully written and illustrated by Sally Ann Garland. Not only is this book a stunning depiction of an unusual friendship, but it teaches children not to judge people on their appearance. "Trembling, Mouse looked up as Bear gazed down. The woods were silent. Mouse was surprised at how kind Bear’s eyes seemed." " Bear Was There is a unique special story with a wistful style and an important lesson."
