At the start of winter, two bear cubs are born, deep in their den in the frozen North. “Mama, what lies beyond here?” they ask. “‘Above us is a land of ice and snow.” “What lies beyond the ice and snow?” they ask. “The ocean, full of ice from long ago.” And as they learn the secrets of the Earth and their place in it, Mama Bear whispers, “You’re snug with me.”

Beautifully illustrated and touching book, order process easy and quickly delivered, I have now decided it's too lovely to give to anyone else even though I am outside the age group it's written for!
I was so captivated by this book's caring narrative about discovering the world in which we live and its intricate illustrations. The voice of mother polar bear is tender in guiding her young cub into the world, full of delightful discoveries. I especially love its gentle message about the need to take care of the world we inhabit together. The illustrations are unique and amazing. We added this book to our collection!
