Hibernate with Me is a gentle reminder that no matter how sad, small, or scared you feel, you are always worthy of love, and that brighter days are always ahead.
Sometimes you feel small. Sometimes you feel shy.
Sometimes you feel worried, and you might not know why.
Sometimes you want nobody to see.
Darling, you can hibernate with me.
If you feel scared or lost, or even just a little shy, love means there will always be a place to hibernate together.
A place that’s cozy, warm, and safe
Hibernate with Me is a wonderful picture book. The story features a little bear and his mom/dad. No matter how rough life can gets or how shy the little bear feels, little bear always has a safe, warm home to go to.
The words have a gentle rhyming pattern, and the illustrations accompany it perfectly. They are detailed, colorful and fit the moods, seasons of the story.
The story was originally a song. The melody is in the back of the book. The lullaby quality of the story makes it a perfect book for bedtime.
I think I’m going to give my copy to either my brother or my mom. A couple of my brother’s kids are still young enough for picture books and I really like this one. Hibernate with Me is a gentle reminder that no matter how sad, small, or scared you feel, you are always worthy of love, and that brighter days are always ahead.
I have one copy to giveaway. US only.

It’s a really cute one. Of course, I also feel like hibernating – it’s so cold and yucky out.
