| book description |

A boyâ€™s usual routine is shaken up by the sudden appearance of a bear in Out of the Blue, an award-winning Danish picture book from author Rebecca Bach-Lauritsen and illustrator Anna Margrethe KjÃ¦rgaard about embracing surprise, adapting to change, and welcoming new friendships. Translated from Danish by Michael Favala Goldman A 2025 Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year! One of Betsy Birdâ€™s Top 15 Translated Childrenâ€™s Picture Books of 2024! In a house where everything is arranged just so, there lives a boy whose days are filled with peace, quiet, and solitude. Every morning, he wakes up and follows the exact same routine, without failâ€¦ until the day something new appears, out of the blue: a bear! In this imaginative and empowering picture book, a meticulous child steps out of his comfort zone of control and opens himself up to unfamiliar and unexpected experiences. Thanks to author Bach-Lauritsenâ€™s poetic text, fluidly translated by Goldman from Danish to English, and the spare, highly communicative, and absorbing illustrations from Kirkus Prize for Young Readers finalist KjÃ¦rgaard, this is a sensitive, encouraging story about how embracing change can lead to trust and friendship!
