About the Book

Wandering Bear has always wondered what lies beyond the trees.

When a simple trip to collect berries leads him deep into the forest, Wandering Bear discovers more than he ever imagined. Along his journey, he encounters wolves protecting their pup, a brave bear fishing in the river, a wise beaver building for others, and many other animals who quietly share powerful lessons about life.

Guided by the beauty of nature and the love of his family, Wandering Bear learns the Seven Grandfather Teachings: humility, bravery, wisdom, love, honesty, respect, and truth.

Inspired by Indigenous teachings, Wandering Bear is a heartfelt story about curiosity, connection, and the wisdom found in the natural world. This meaningful children’s book invites young readers to explore important life lessons through storytelling, family, and the land around them.
