Join Our Family

Coco and Bear learn sweet lessons about family, friends, and helping others feel included in this festive fall picture book from the creator of Ruby's Tools for Making Friends and the New York Times bestseller Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light.

Coco and Bear are looking forward to the Family Fall Feast. Coco will finally meet Bear's mom, and Bear will meet Coco's grandma. But on the day of the feast, Bear receives some sad news: his mom is snowed in on her mountain and can't make it! Since helping always makes him feel better, Bear pitches in on his friends' preparations: decorating pumpkins, making cupcakes, and mixing apple cider.

All the activities are fun, but everyone is too busy to think of inviting Bear to come with them to the feast! Feeling left out, Bear goes away and hides. Luckily, Coco notices he's missing and makes sure Bear feels welcome. After all, Bear's friends are part of his family--and the love of family has no limits.
