From the creative team behind the bestselling, Caldecott
Medal--winning Finding Winnie comes an extraordinary wartime adventure
seen through the eyes of the world's most beloved bear.
Here is a heartwarming imagining of the real journey undertaken by the
extraordinary bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh. From her early days
with her mama in the Canadian forest, to her remarkable travels with the
Veterinary Corps across the country and overseas, and all the way to the
London Zoo where she met Christopher Robin Milne and inspired the
creation of the world's most famous bear, Winnie is on a great war
adventure.
This beautifully told story is a triumphant blending of deep research
and magnificent imagination. Infused with Sophie Blackall's irresistible
renderings of an endearing bear, the book is also woven through with
entries from Captain Harry Colebourn's real wartime diaries and contains
a selection of artifacts from the Colebourn Family Archives. The result
is a one-of-a-kind exploration into the realities of war, the meaning of
courage, and the indelible power of friendship, all told through the
historic adventures of one extraordinary bear.
