The Ice Bear

Description

Long, long ago in the icy lands of the far north, a hunter and his wife cared for an orphaned bear-child. But when the child wanders off, there are consequences for both animals and people. Set in the pristine regions of the Arctic, acclaimed author/illustrator Jackie Morris' captivating illustrations and lyrical text remind us that we are caretakers of wild creatures, and that our actions affect the future.
