When a child loses their beloved stuffed bear, they have to find the courage to overcome their worry and set off on a rescue mission, in Tiny Bear Goes Missing, a beautiful and heartfelt picture book from Manka Kasha, author of Small Knight and the Anxiety Monster.
Losing something important is always scary, but what if that something is your best friend?
There once was a very small, very brave knight, who loved to go on adventures with their best friend Tiny Bear. They had even faced down the dreaded Anxiety Monster, and trapped it in a jar. But when they wake up one morning and Tiny Bear is nowhere to be found...
CRASH!
The jar breaks and the Anxiety Monster is loose again, swirling bigger and bigger and trying to get in their way. But Tiny Bear is lost and alone, and probably scared, and Small Knight WILL save him, even if they have to drag the monster along every step of the way.

      The diminutive hero introduced inSmall Knight and the Angry Prince (2023) returns for a more personal adventure. Pale-skinned, brave Small Knight (who usesthey/them pronouns) and their trusted companion, Tiny Bear (plush but seemingly sentient), explore a cave aglow with shining crystals but wind up falling asleep. Some taller knights bring the little human back to the palace, where the queen is waiting, but where is Tiny Bear? As Small Knight frets, a jar breaks, and the Anxiety Monster (captured offscreen at the beginning of the book) emerges. Small Knight stands up to the monster, depicted as coalesced ink scribbles with horns. But as Small Knight unsuccessfully looks for Tiny Bear, their fears mount and the monster grows. The child decides to search the cave and commands the beast to accompany them. But the Anxiety Monster begins to worry, too, and Small Knight reassures it. This back-and-forth defines the youngster's relationship to the monster and to anxiety itself--at times it can be overcome, but sometimes it's in control. When all are safe again, the Anxiety Monster shrinks, and Small Knight finds a cozier yet still secure home for it. In the author's note, Kasha discusses the challenges of coping with anxiety. Accompanied by quaint, atmospherically fantastical watercolor-and-ink illustrations, her story offers an accessible depiction of doing so, which many readers will find validating. Small Knight and the queen are light-skinned; the other knights are darker-skinned. A charming and creative take on adapting to life with anxiety.(Picture book. 3-7)
