Brave Bear has been asleep in his den with Mama and Dada all winter, and he awakes to scary loud sounds he has never heard before. Brave Bear asks Mama and Dada to tell him about who is making these noises.

Mama tells Brave Bear about the Woodpecker, the Chickadee, the Morning Dove, the Snow Geese, and the Osprey, and that they have good news to share with everyone.

Brave Bear gets excited as he learns about all of these animals, and he decides he must know the good news. Brave Bear gathers up his courage to go outside and see for himself what each of the animals looks like and most of all to learn what the good news is. Be courageous with Brave Bear and learn the good news too.
