The Happy Bear Paper Patty Payne

A baby's blanket. A kite. A precious stone. What could these things possibly have in common? Each, in its own time, comes wrapped in a sheet of gift wrapping paper printed with images of happy little bears. As two children grow into young adults, an increasingly tattered remnant of "the happy bear paper," as the two call it, takes on a life of its own. It's always there for their big moments, as well as being part of their everyday lives -- creating special memories in the process. Although a children's book, "The Happy Bear Paper" is destined to become a classic love story for readers of all ages, about the love and affection we give to those who make us happy. Illustrated with 28 full-page black-and-white pencil drawings; 60 pages.
