In the breathtaking high Sierras, a little brown bear—no larger than a house cat—finds itself rescued by a Ranger after a near-drowning. This endearing cub grows up alongside an orphaned fawn, a mischievous young burro, a clever ring-tailed cat, a wise owl, a friendly canary, and a courageous yellow pup. As the author masterfully weaves together natural science and storytelling, readers are introduced to a vibrant cast of creatures, including playful pine squirrels, colorful chipmunks, the snow-dwelling pika, and the elusive rattlesnake of the sun-soaked valleys. With glimpses of cougars and coyotes, this enchanting tale invites you to explore the wonders of nature through the eyes of its spirited characters.
