Publisher's Synopsis
For ages 4-8. Not long ago the bears were building a manger for Baby Jesus and his Holy Mother. Since then, they have been exploring the cliffs near the ocean. Billy is tired from climbing the big rocks. Soon the other bears began to complain that they want to stop to rest. "Before we stop, let's get to the top of this cliff and then we can see the ocean." One of the bears said, "Let's take the parachutes we have along in case of emergency. We can fly back down to the place where we started." Soon they all put the chutes on and then jumped out into space and slowly floated down. As they were flying in the breeze going down, they were so happy, they began singing and praising God. Soon they landed softly in the snow. The bears were happy and thanked Binky for remembering that they carried small parachutes in their packs. After praying, they were surprised to see a small black bear holding tightly to a tree nearby. The bear asked them if they came to help him because he was lost. The bears ran over and helped him down from the tree. "My name is Matty and my mother said I was old enough to be on my own. I didn't know what that meant, but I know now. It means climbing trees when you are scared."
