Bolero and Musette just love each other so much! You never see one without the other: Bolero without Musette, Musette without Bolero. No bunny without the bear cub. When Musette passes away, Boléro, all alone, doesn’t feel like doing anything anymore. But gradually, as the seasons go by, Bolero learns to delight in the little things again, and thanks to the other animals in the forest, rediscovers the power of friendship.
1) A touching picture book about grief, death, and learning to live on afterwards, with a little help from your friends and the bounties of nature. An ode to friendship.
2) A story at once forceful and tender, reminiscent of Kenneth Grahame’s great children’s classic The Wind in the Willows.
3) The illustrations blend colored pencils, ink, and collage, intimately immersing readers in the lives of forest creatures, the woodland setting, and the passing seasons.
