Out: 15 Sep 2022

Little Bear has a secret - deep inside, he feels nothing like a real bear.

One night, the wondrous firebird swoops down and places a magic feather in Little Bear’s paw. Could this help him discover who he truly is…. or was the answer inside him all along?

An empowering story about finding your own special spark, woven with magic and wonder by Sandra Dieckmann, the creator of Leaf and Waiting for Wolf.

the dedication reads “…to Ronja, who was still safe inside me as I wrote this story. May you and everyone who reads this book find your own magic. May the light that you already carry inside you burn brightly in this world.”
