Meet Golden Hair, a scrappy orphan with a good heart and a knack for making friends in wild places. One day she wanders into a disaster of a cabin owned by three very surprised bears: Papa, Mamma, and Tiny. 

Instead of running for the hills, she rolls up her sleeves and helps turn their chaos into comfort. What starts as trespassing turns into something better—an unexpected family built on friendship, warmth, and a whole lot of bear hugs.

Notable Quotes:

• "Although little Golden Hair lived far from other children she was never lonesome, for she had many friends and playmates in the wild creatures of the wood."

• "The grandmother liked the three bears so well and the bears were so delighted with the comforts of home that they all decided to live together for the general good."
