Kuma-Kuma Chan’s Travels

In the third book in theKuma-Kuma Chanseries, the title character flies off to a south sea isle where he lies in the sun and drifts into a lazy snooze. He climbs to the summit of a mountain and views the sunrise while drinking a cup of hot chocolate.

But instead of physically setting out for one place or another, Kuma-Kuma travels freely all over the worldinside his head.

Once again, Kuma-Kuma Chan charms as he exemplifies the joy of a simple, peaceful life. With its spare text and delightful illustrations, this small-format picture book invites readers to explore their own imaginations and create their own travels.

These incredibly simple little drawings are alive. The bear has a soul. You open the book and look into a small but totally convincing world. Lovely. Lisbeth Zwerger, award-winning illustrator
