Ziggy the Prayer Girl is back—and this time, adventure is waiting in the great outdoors!
 
When Ziggy and her fluffy best friend Jama the Llama head out on a camping trip, they’re ready for fun, friends, and fresh air. But when a loud roar shakes the forest and a giant, angry bear appears, Ziggy and her new friends must face their fears in a big way. With courage, kindness, and the power of prayer, Ziggy discovers that sometimes the scariest moments hide the biggest opportunities to help.
 
Packed with heart, humor, and faith-filled lessons, The Bear shows young readers how encouragement can build bravery, how compassion can change hearts, and how God is always with us—even in our most frightening moments.
 
Join Ziggy on a thrilling camping adventure that will leave children smiling, inspired, and ready to be brave!
