This year, Bear Bait is no longer a child running behind his grandfather-he is now a hunter. The forest awaits, the crowd expects victory, and winter provisions depend on success. A sweet spring bear means food, warmth, and honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Deep in the wild blueberry patch and beneath towering spruce trees, Bear Bait finally finds his prize. But instead of a fierce beast, he encounters something entirely unexpected-a playful, flower-sniffing, somersaulting cub. The Little Funny Bear doesn't charge. He dances. He doesn't threaten. He laughs in his own way. And in a powerful moment that tests everything he has been taught, Bear Bait must choose between pulling back his bow... or listening to his heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the Huntress beside him and the weight of generations watching, Bear Bait makes a decision that transforms him from hunter to protector. He returns home not with a trophy, but with something far more meaningful-a Bear Brother. The village laughs, the elders understand, and a new story is born-one that will be told long after the hunt ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the breathtaking landscape of Alaska and enriched with Tlingit language and cultural reverence, Little Funny Bear is a touching story of courage, identity, and compassion. Perfect for readers who love heartfelt animal stories, coming-of-age journeys, and tales that celebrate respect for nature and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause sometimes the bravest thing a hunter can do... is lower his bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rie Lamarr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798995252405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rlamarr Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Rie Lamarr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50593573667071,"sku":"9798995252405","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0784d9f9-9f81-422d-8f2b-8ce578aa232d.jpg?v=1791122039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-funny-bear-rie-lamarr-9798995252405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
