Honey

This sweet companion to David Ezra Stein’s award-winning Leaves celebrates the joy of savoring something you love.

After a long winter sleep, Bear wakes up with one thing in mind—honey! But it’s too soon for honey, so he must wait. It’s hard to be patient, but fortunately, the world around him is also waking up, reminding Bear of other things he loves—like warm grass, berries, rain to dance in, and a creek to swim in—and allowing him to take pleasure in the passage of time.
