The Blurb

It snowed last night. The first fall of the season. More is on its way. For this polar bear, this is a sign it’s time to make a den, a safe place to sleep through the harsh Arctic winter and to give birth to her cubs. But the Arctic is changing; familiar landscapes are melting. What kind of world will her cubs grow up in? This beautifully illustrated picture book gently explores the effects of climate change on polar bears, along with information on how we can all make a difference and protect the planet for these majestic animals.

The Review

The latest book in the Protecting The Planet series is just as brilliant as Emperor Of The Ice and The Seasons Of Giraffes. And just like the previous two books in the series, it is not just a picture book; it’s a call to action, encouraging young readers to become stewards of the planet and protect the delicate balance of nature for generations to come.

A poignant and visually captivating exploration of how climate change is impacting the lives of polar bears, Martin and Lou have combined beautiful illustrations with an engaging narrative to educate us all about the challenges faced by these majestic creatures. Through the eyes of a resilient mother bear, we are introduced to the harsh realities of climate change and its direct impact on the Arctic environment.

The importance of conservation and making a positive impact on our world is subtly woven into the fabric of the story, making it a powerful resource in our classrooms and a must-have for school libraries.

Huge thanks to Walker Books for sending me a copy.
