The Great Feast

Bear walks.
He walks a lot, a lot, a lot.
He travels through mountains that seem endless.
When he reaches the top of one of them,
his paws touch the clouds.
What is this wonder?
Could he live here forever?

Bear sleeps, and sleeps a lot. And when he leaves the cave, he sleeps even a little more. When he finally wakes up, he senses that he has to go somewhere. But he can’t remember where. During his journey, Bear contemplates the forest, crosses the mountains, touches the clouds, sees the sea… Although all these landscapes of nature are beautiful, he knows that he has not yet reached his home. Those long hibernation periods make him forget everything! Will Bear be able to remember what he is looking for?
Beautiful and expressive illustrations for a story about memory with an emotional dramatic arch.
