Bear's Sick Day is a children’s picture book written by Hong Lee with illustrations by Yochai. It follows the heartwarming story of Bear, who feels unwell and unable to play, but is cared for by his enthusiastic friend, Bunny. Bunny happily hops to Bear’s house for a play date but finds him sick. This saddens her, but she decides to stay with her friend and help him recover. Despite Bear’s refusal to accept help, Bunny reads to him, makes him some warm tea, and plays a game of Jenga with him. Bunny even does a silly dance to cheer him up, and Bear slowly begins to feel better surrounded by his friend's kindness and support.

Bear’s Sick Day is a beautiful story highlighting the power of friendship and compassion, demonstrating how a caring friend can brighten even the gloomiest days. We all have bad days when we feel unwell or down, and we wish we had a supportive friend like Bunny to lift our spirits and help us heal. This charming narrative encourages children to understand the importance of empathy and kindness, reminding them that sometimes simply being there for someone in need can make all the difference. Hong Lee perfectly presents this message in a way that children will understand, with adorable animal characters and an engaging story. The colorful illustrations will grab children's attention and draw them into the story. The words are enclosed in text boxes, making them easy to read and accessible to youngsters with reading difficulties. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend sharing it with your children to teach them the importance of supporting friends during tough times.
