Honey Bear, the youngest Berenstain Bear cub, is growing up! The little cub finally learns to live without her beloved blanket in this Berenstain Bears Gifts of the Spirit storybook!

The Berenstain Bears Gifts of the Spirit series celebrates the joy of faith, family, and friends—values essential to a wholesome and fulfilling life!

First published as a hardcover picture book in 2023, this paperback book, created by Mike Berenstain, son of Stan and Jan Berenstain, includes a soon-to-be classic story about growing up. Honey Bear takes her favorite blanket everywhere, but now it’s beginning to smell! Mama, Papa, and the cubs are concerned. How can they convince Honey Bear to give up that smelly, old blanket?Mike Berenstain is an author and illustrator of children's books. He is the son of Stan and Jan Berenstain, creators of the popular Berenstain Bears series of picture books. Like Stan and Jan before him, Mike draws on his own experiences as a parent (and, now, grandparent) to inspire the family themes he writes about--including Gifts of the Spirit, a new line of faith-based books featuring the Berenstain Bears. He lives and works in the rolling countryside of Eastern Pennsylvania--a place that looks very much like Berenstain Bear Country.
