Lots of people have inner strength, but one girl wears hers as a bear outside.
Some folks have a lion inside, Or a tiger.
Not me.
I wear my bear on the outside.
In this imaginative picture book by Jane Yolen , acclaimed author of many distinguished children's books including Owl Moon and How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight , a girl explores the many ways she expresses herself by imagining that she wears a bear as her personal protective shell.
