Quick Overview

With a gentle, rhyming text and illustrations that exude a snuggly warmth, the author offers a reassuring, though ultimately cloying answer.

When Large asks what's wrong, Small begins interrogating Large (neither character's gender is specified): ""If I were a grumpy grizzly bear, would you still love me? Would you still care?"" ""I'd always love you, no matter what,"" responds Large.
