A sweet book that could work so well with a lot of problems
Written and Illustrated by Max Kornell
Bear with Me is a sweet book that could work so well with a lot of problems. Change, new siblings, making friends, and family changes, just to name a few. Owen had to deal with his parents bringing home a bear. He didn’t want a bear, and no one asked him anyway. It takes him awhile but he finally figures out that maybe the bear could be fun to have around. I would definitely recommend this book.

I loved how he did the illustrations like paper cut-outs, even though they were done digitally. I’ll leave this drawing open until Monday, Oct 31 so that more people have a chance to enter it.

I just ran across this discussion about my book, Bear With Me. Thank you all for such positive comments! The art in the book is cut-outs glued over painted backgrounds. I did it that way so I could draw in pen without doing a pencil sketch first, if I messed up I could save the background and just redo the foreground. Thanks again, everybody. Enjoy the book!

We can never have enough books on how to deal with “change” since it is the only constant thing in life.
