I Love You Just the Same Jacket

 I Love You Just the Same

         Written and Illustrated by Erica Wolf

Little Bear’s mother is always there to show him
what he needs to learn, like how to chew crunchy
grass, catch swishing fish, and dig deep for roots.
But Little bear is still small, and he can’t do all of
these “big bear” things just yet.

What is a little bear to do?

Watch, and grow, and try his best. And no matter
what, know that he will always be loved…
just the same.

“This simple and loving story will inspire parents and children alike, and remind us all how important it is to be loved.” —Exceptional Parent

“The lovely, naturalistic illustrations, done in acrylics, perfectly enhance the narrative in this springboard to nature discussions.” –School Library Journal

Little Raccoon loves to explore, especially when
she knows her mother is close behind. When Little
Raccoon wanders off one day, she finds herself on

surprises along the way. But there’s one sound
that keeps following her…

What could it be?

Here is a reassuring story about testing boundaries
and the discoveries that come with growing bigger.
