This is the story of a bear, sitting alone, high on a department store shelf who longs to be taken home to live with a family.
One day a girl and her mother come by and the girl wants to buy the bear, but the mother says no after she notices that a button is missing from his overalls.
That night, when the store is quiet, the bear jumps off of the shelf in search of a button to replace the missing one in hopes that if he can just be mended, he might find a family to adopt him.
Will he ever find a family?
This is more than just a touching children's story with lovely illustrations. It has a lesson on not judging people or things based simply on appearances, which is an important lesson for us all, children AND adults.
