This book started as a sequel to Magic Thinks Big, my book about a cat who sits in a doorway. I wanted to write about the cat imagining himself joining a migration of geese. That idea didn’t work. But one image stuck: a furry mammal in a V of flying geese. I reworked the story — out with the cat, in with a bear — and came up with a book about a bear cub who doesn’t want to hibernate (or a child who doesn’t want to sleep). His friends are playing outside, but he cannot, so he has to dream.
