Bear’s kite gets stuck in a tree and rips, but Bird shows him that beauty can come from broken things.
Bear receives a bright yellow kite for his birthday and flies it until...it gets stuck in a tree and rips. Oh, Bear. Lucky for Bear, Bird is busy building a nest and flies his broken kite home, where an even better surprise awaits him. A story about nature, renewal, and friendship — the best gift of all.
