"A subtle cry for environmental activism in an enticing
package."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An artful and expressive take on the effects of global
warming."--School Library Journal (starred review)
Lindsay Moore's remarkable and beautifully illustrated picture book
follows a lone polar bear as she makes her way across sea ice in the
Arctic. Sea Bear is a deeply moving and informative story about
perseverance, family, nature, and climate change that will resonate with
readers of all ages.
A solitary polar bear travels across the sea ice in pursuit of food. As
the ice melts and food becomes scarce, she is forced to swim for days.
Finally, storm-tossed and exhausted, she finds shelter on land, where
she gives birth to cubs and waits for the sea to freeze again.
Informed by the author's background in marine science, Sea Bear is a
vivid and moving page-turner with a vital message about our changing
planet. This is a gorgeously illustrated book, with the perfect marriage
of scientific fact and poetry, that shows the reality of climate change
and how it poses a threat to the animals of the Arctic. Perfect for
family and classroom sharing.
Includes extensive backmatter about Arctic animals, climate change, and
sea ice.
