What is A Friend for Bear about?

Little Bear cannot wait for spring. She rushes through the woods, eager to smell flowers, meet baby animals and find a friend. Along the way, she meets Tortoise, who tries to help her slow down and notice the world around her. But Little Bear is too busy racing from one adventure to the next. When the day finally ends, she discovers that friendship and happiness may have been beside her all along.
