Bear proudly soars above his friends in a hot air balloon... until he realizes he doesn't know how to land! This sweet picture book celebrates both independence and knowing when to ask for help.

Bear is on an adventure in a hot air balloon... all by himself!

As he flies proudly above his friends—Moose in the lake, his sisters in a tall tree—he feels independent and brave.

But, when he's ready to rejoin his friends on the ground, he realizes he has a problem: he doesn't know how to get down!

Not all adventures go according to plan, and Bear will have to work up a different kind of courage to ask his friends for help. And of course they'll all join together to bring him home!
