But others in the forest find this new family strange, even dangerous. When the bears invite their neighbors to a big party, onlyWelcomes friend the bat shows up. Soon after that, a policeman knocks on their door, threatening to destroy the brothers beloved beehives. Maybe Welcome and her friends need to find someplace that might accept three bears, a bat, and a girl like her: somewhere to call home at last.With charming, delightful illustrations reminiscent of vintage childrens classics, The Brothers Zzli invites readers to join a bear familys search for belonging in a world that views them with suspicion.
