Features: It's a wonderfully imaginative story where a little bear has a navel that responds when it cries or gets angry. When the little bear is alone in the forest, the expression with a single tear on its face is so much like the little image our children often have. When we feel compassionate or anxious about it, it's still better to let the child be alone and experience things; they will think and understand on their own. It's a blessing that the little bear meets the old moon, which is a child's fortunate encounter in the outside world. Sometimes, the old moon also needs parents to take on that role.
