520			_aIllustrations and easy-to-read text convey advice about what to do when a friend becomes very sick. Best bear friends go camping, play games, talk and laugh, but illness interrupts their lives. This book gently shows how to be sensitive to a friend who is ill (no illness is specified, although it is noted that the friend "might have less hair" so a cancer diagnosis is implied), helping to make children comfortable with the physical and emotional changes that may occur. The author, Vanessa Bayer, was diagnosed with leukemia in her teens and has firsthand experience of how friends and loved ones can feel awkward and unsure of how to respond to the person who is unwell. This book poses the question "How do you care for a very sick Bear?" and helps to mitigate discomfort by explaining what can be expected and what the sick person will appreciate. Colour picturebook with short text. Audience: Child 2 - 7 years
