Polar bear cub Kallik and her brother, Taqqiq, live in a cozy den
nestled into the side of a snowy hill. Their mother, Nisa, tells them
stories of the great world beyond their little den: stories of other
bears, endless snow, and flecks of ice in the sky called stars. Kallik
and Taqqiq can't wait to explore everything, though Nisa says they're
still too little to venture out. But when the two cubs sneak out one
day, they discover some startling new things about life in the wild and
make a new friend--whose life may be in danger!
