Penguin and Bear

Dear Friends,

If some of you have read PENGUIN and PINECONE, you know that I spent some time in the forest. But what you DON'T know is who I met while I was returning home.

I'll start here:


After leaving Pinecone in the forest, I went on my way
with a heavy heart and headed back south.





But I lost my way. I was hot and thirsty, but a kind Bear
invited me in for some ice cold lemonade.




 I shared my journey of friendship with Pinecone, and Bear had a
special story of friendship of his own!


Here is a picture of us together.


 Bear's story will come out with Walker Books for Young Readers in Spring, 2014!





I was very happy to meet Bear. He was very kind, and gave me a big Bear hug before
I continued on with my journey back home.


Oh, and don't forget to write, Bear!


I hope you hugged a friend today!

Love,
Penguin
