Bear Necessity by James Gould-Bourn

3 1/2 stars 
Danny has lost his wife and since her death, his son Will has lost his voice. To make matters worse he owes people a bunch of money and he was just fired from his construction job. So what is an unemployed single dad to do? Buy a panda costume and become a street performer of course! Being disguised in a panda suit has another important perk. He is able to interact with his son and help him deal with his grief, without his son being aware of who he is talking to. A light hearted look at bad luck, grief and being a single parent that will make you smile. Maybe being a dancing panda is Danny's destiny and in finding himself he can find the son he thought he lost.
