Bears have more than a passing resemblance to humans. Especially this bear, who takes pleasure in the little things in life, and, of course, the big things as well. He is generous to a fault, and if we are to take his word for it, a rather clever fellow.
But, like many of us, even our bear has days when he feels dreadfully aloneFortunately, he knows exactly what to do about it. Philip Waechter responds to this very human dilemma by creating a wonderful character, drawn with a delicately spare line but informed with great compassion and love.
A graphic artist and illustrator living in Frankfurt, Germany, Philip Waechter is a co-founder of LABOR, a designer's cooperative whose members share a love of books. Me! is his second book for children.
