Cozy Storytime: The Bear and the Piano Written & Illustrated by David Litchfield

Today’s cozy read‑aloud is The Bear and the Piano — a warm, beautifully illustrated story about creativity, courage, and the pull of home. When a young bear discovers a piano in the forest, he teaches himself to play. His music eventually carries him to the city, where he becomes famous… but he never forgets the forest or the friends who first believed in him.

Litchfield’s artwork glows with golden light, rich textures, and expressive character design. The story gently explores ambition, belonging, and the joy of sharing your gifts with the people who matter most.
