Kirsten Boie tells the story of a bear cub that knows what it can do. Once upon a time, a bear lived in the mountains with her child. It had such bright eyes and shiny fur that the mother bear thought her little one was the most beautiful in the world. The bear cub grew up. When he noticed that other bear cubs are also pretty, he became very sad. Until one day a hungry old bear asked the little bear cub for help. That's when the bear cub realized that it wasn't the most beautiful of them all, but it was clever enough to save a helpless old bear from starvation. Kirsten Boie's classic "Bear Girl", atmospherically illustrated by Katrin Engelking, encourages you to get to know your own abilities and to trust in them.
