Hugo Bear’s Non-Hibernation

Hugo Bear’s Non-Hibernation is a picture book that chronicles the journey of Hugo, a bear cub who doesn’t hibernate like his parents. Waking up on the first morning of hibernation is frightening for Hugo, but he gradually learns to take care of himself. As he becomes more independent and skilled, he leans into taking care of his Mama and Papa, building a “hibernation home” for all of them and even protecting them from Gus the Mountain Lion. This heartwarming story embodies survival themes and hints of the sweetness found in Bear Snores On.
