Read the full description
Bear and Bird are best friends! And while they don't always understand each other, they both agree: all they want is to make the other happy. So, when Bear forgets to pack for a picnic (but pretends that he didn't), Bird doesn't let on that she knew all along. And when Bird discovers that Bear has more of a certain talent than she does, well, Bear finds a touching way to make her feel better...

Jarvis studied graphic design and previously worked as both a record sleeve designer and an animation director before becoming a children's book illustrator.
His books with Walker include The Boy with Flowers in His Hair, Follow Me, Flo!, Tropical Terry, Mrs Mole, I’m Home! and Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth, which won the V&A Best Illustrated Book.
He is also the illustrator of the much-loved "Pick a ..." series written by Patricia Toht, Pick a Pine Tree, Pick a Pumpkin and Pick a Perfect Egg. Jarvis lives in Manchester with his wife and their dog and cat.
About his picture book inspiration, Jarvis says, " The way I work is always visual. I will have an image or character in mind and I pull a story out of it. I doodle and doodle and doodle until I get it right ."
Empathy Day inspires children to learn more about empathy, have transformational experiences through stories, and to put empathy into action!
