Let It Go, Little Bear: Color Illustrated Edition

A tender, fully illustrated chapter book for children with big feelings, families walking through loss, and boys learning that softness can still be strength. Isaiah is five when Daddy gives him Patch, a small brown bear with a patched paw and a faded blue scarf. Patch is more than a toy. He is the last gift Daddy gives Isaiah before the house grows quiet. As Isaiah moves from childhood into his teenage years, grief follows him in unexpected ways. It appears as anger, silence, embarrassment, laughter, old shoes, drawings, storms, and memories that return when he least expects them. Through every season, Patch stays beside him, carrying the feelings Isaiah cannot always explain. Along the way, Isaiah learns that being strong does not mean never crying, that boys can hurt too, and that letting go of pain does not mean letting go of love. Let It Go, Little Bear: Color Illustrated Edition is a heartfelt story about grief, emotional healing, courage, family, friendship, and the quiet strength it takes to remain soft in a world that often tells boys to hide what they feel. Featuring full-color illustrations throughout, this edition brings Isaiah and Patch's emotional journey to life for young readers and the grown-ups who love them. Book Two in The Let It Go Series.
