At home with the other cubs, Lil Bear's unique color-changing coat makes her a target for bullies. So 'Lil Bear sets off on her own and finds a family of kindred spirits who cherish her for who she is.
Lil Bear's coat is very special. It can be brown, black, yellow, or even polka dotted. The other bears are afraid of little bear and her color-changing coat, so they pick on her and are mean to her. Lil Bear did not know how to control the colors, and they ran wild with her emotions. One day Lil Bear decides that she does not want to be with the bear cubs anymore, so she runs away.
Out on her adventure, she wanders the woods and meets new friends like Left Eye the Owl, whose eye was shot by a hunter, and Gracie the Fawn, who has one leg that's shorter than all the others and many more. These new friends don't see Lil Bear's coat as something to be afraid of or ashamed of. Instead, they welcome her as one of their own. Together the unique creatures build a home of diverse talents, abilities, and looks.

The book can help children who are unsure or scared learn how to find their self-worth and feel comforted and accepted.
