What is Sailor Bear about?

Small Bear, feeling lost and alone, decides to embrace his sailor attire and sets off on a sea adventure in a makeshift boat. However, a sudden storm wrecks his vessel, leaving him stranded and shivering on the shore. The next morning, a kind-hearted girl discovers him, brings him home, and warms him by the fire. Grateful for her care, Small Bear realises he's found a new friend and decides to stay with her forever.
