Review:
My rating for this book is mostly due to the gorgeous illustrations through the book and the story is cute, however it is a little confusing. This children's book is about a bear who lives alone in a grey house and is living a pretty repetitive boring life and feels invisible. The one day a colorful, vibrant, and almost energetic lady moves in next door and changes his world forever. He realizes that he is not invisible once she leaves.
My adult brain reading this feels like it is all a visual representation about coming out of depression and into the colorful world and learning that there is so much around you to be appreciative of, but I am not sure that younger readers will experience this book in the same way with their limited knowledge about such topics and themes.
The artwork throughout the book is absolutely amazing though and I really loved it. It is soft and yet bright and airy and really brought a smile to my face as I read this ebook.
