Quiet Steps, Sleeping Cub

A large friendly polar bear tiptoes softly through the Howard Miller children's room carrying a broad padded tote against its chest with both paws. A tiny sleeping cub curls inside the open tote, head resting safely on its padded rim. The parent bear looks tenderly down at the cub; one rounded foot planted, the other lifted only a little in a cautious step. Show both bears' faces, the tote support and the parent's full body. The pair fills most of the portrait in three-quarter view. Behind, simplify the photographed circular face-out book display and bead-play table to recognizable sparse contours. This is an invented storybook visitor, not a claim of animals in the library.
