Synopsis

One night, Tilly discovers a giant polar bear in her bedroom. With his soft, white fur and gentle nature, she finds him the cuddliest companion ever. However, caring for such a massive guest isn't easy—he's messy, eats a lot, and her parents don't believe he exists. As their friendship grows, Tilly realises that bears don't belong in houses, leading to a heartfelt farewell. This beautifully illustrated tale explores the magic of unexpected friendships and the bittersweetness of letting go.
