Bird, Balloon, Bear

(3) PS Shy Bird is new to the forest and hoping to make a friend, but Bear already has one: a red balloon. (The protagonists' rotund bodies humorously reflect the balloon's roundness.) When the balloon is blown away, Bird spots his chance to prove himself a worthy successor. Simple text and soft digital-collage illustrations--each thoughtfully designed--combine for a relatable and heartfelt friendship story.
