This charming picture book, inspired by a real Alaskan brown bear, celebrates doing things at your own pace. Otis the bear isn't like the others; he sleeps longer, fishes in his own way, and naps when he needs to. Through delightful illustrations and a gentle story, young readers are encouraged to embrace their unique rhythm and trust their own instincts. It's a perfect read for kids who march to the beat of their own drum.
