Book Synopsis
Barkley the Bear is now ready to continue his family's business, which involves taking care of everyone in the forest. What a job! Barkley worries that he will not be able to provide the care necessary for everyone, but he soon finds out how easy it is to help others, and how much you can get in return. New York Times best-selling author Nick Ortner, along with Alison Taylor, take you on a memorable journey of what's most important in life: Kindness, hugs, and a little bit of work.
