Archie and the Bear

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Mackintosh. Archie identifies as a bear, but, frustratingly, people only see a boy in a "bear suit." Archie takes off into the forest and meets a large bear that wears a "boy sweater" and identifies as a boy. Dynamic perspectives in the bold mixed-media spreads enrich this story of identity, acceptance, and new friendship as the pals skip stones, fish, and share honey sandwiches.
