What do you do with a bear who won’t leave? When a bear comes to stay, no one expects him to stay too long! But his arrival changes everything, from sleeping to shopping to hanging out with friends. If even dinosaurs and math problems can’t drive him away, what are you supposed to do?

Featuring quirky, energetic illustrations, this amusing tale suggests we can learn to live with even the most unbearable company.

Kirkus Reviews
“This book will likely resonate with readers living with their own bears.”

Booklist
“A final spread suggests everyone might have their own bear to contend with, but Vola leaves much unresolved (including the bear's affinity for butterflies), giving open-minded readers much to ponder.”

Publishers Weekly
“A metaphor for coexisting with anxiety, depression, or unwanted emotions.”
