Well, in my rush to finish this challenge, I didn’t read the prompt. So reduced the number of bears and diversified the species 😂
But it was fun to draw and I don’t feel like redoing it.

PB study today: The Legend of Tiger and Tail-Flower by Lee Gee Eun (tr. Aerin Park), published by Levine Querido.
Silly tiger, sweet Tail-Flower, a heartwarming tale of friendship. I really like comic format for picture books!
