Once there was a bear who lived with a boy . . . A heartwarming and moving story of friendship, camaraderie and discovery. From a major new picture book talent comes a deceptively simple and exquisitely illustrated board book about a little boy and his bear and finding a place called home. Told with humour and warmth, this is a story to capture the heart of its reader. 'Where Bear' has been nominated for both the 2015 Kate Greenaway Medal and the 2015 Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Picture Books.
Sophy Henn lives and works in Sussex, England. She studied Fashion at Central Saint Martins, accidentally had a London-based career as an Art Director in advertising, then completed an MA at University of Brighton in Illustration. Now she writes and illustrates children's books in her studio, with a large cup of tea by her side, and can't quite believe her luck. Where Bear, her first book, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2015. She is also the World Book Day Illustrator for 2015 and 2016.
