Description
Bear has been waiting since dawn. "I'm waiting for Goliath," he tells everyone. "Goliath is coming! He's my best friend ...He'll definitely show up. You'll see!" Bear waits patiently for his friend. The robins fly to the south and the first snow falls. When Bear awakes from a long sleep, he hears a noise like a hand sliding slowly across paper. Goliath is coming! But his identity is a big surprise.

Reviews"Seemingly simple but endlessly sweet." -- Starred review Kirkus Reviews (US) "Pleasingly original, imbued with the colourful variety of the seasons, and with a cosy story to melt the hardest of hearts, this is a book of warm surprises and strong friendships." -- Lancashire Post (UK) "An elegantly understated portrait of patience and faith." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
