You and your friend Bear
are an excellent pair.
But if your friend gets sick,
And can’t do all the things that you two love to do…
You may wonder--how do you care for a very sick Bear?

"Bayer tells the sweet story of two bear friends and offers some gentle advice on how to be the best friend possible when sickness strikes."--Parade Magazine
"A tenderly written children’s book that hopes to bridge the gap between patients and pals by teaching kids how to be there for sick friends."--Cleveland Magazine
"[Bayer] describes the different things that might happen to the bear physically: 'Your friend might look different; she might have less hair. She might be too tired to play.' Then, it goes into all of the things you can do to help, such as bring cards, play games, or simply just be there. ... A great purchase for... supporting a friend through illness.-- School Library Journal
