An overbearing older sibling can really be a bear, but the child in this understated, gently humorous story finds out that they can have their advantages, too. "I live with a bear," the story's young narrator declares. The bear is loud, messy, uncouth, and very strong (too strong!). For some reason, his parents treat the bear like family, despite his protests. Why can't they see? Then he runs into some bullies on the playground. When the bear ROOAARS with all her might and scares them away, he realizes that there are advantages to having a bear in the family. In a delightful twist, the narrator's older sister (the bear) appears, telling him that she is NOT a bear. But if she is, HE is too--because two bears are even better than one!

There is no one size fits all when it comes to families. They can be large or small, blended or shared, here or there. The families in this book might have one dad or two moms. They might have grandparents or not. No brothers or sisters, or a lot! Your family or my family, whatever it's like, it's the perfect fit. The only tradition that matters in these families is that they love each other.
