A tender, life-affirming picture book for children ages 3-7 about a polar bear cub who finds courage through the steady love of her mother.

In the frozen Far North, a polar bear and cub emerge from their den and set out on a long journey full of both perils and delights. The cub is at first apprehensive, but with the support of her mother, gains confidence. When their adventure is complete, the cub knows that she can do anything. A beautiful, optimistic and life-affirming story that reminds us that we can face any challenge when we know we are loved.
Jonny Lambert always wanted to be an artist of some sort. Encouraged by his university art instructor, Jonny is now an artist of many sorts: a talented illustrator with more than 300 titles to his name, designer, and paper engineer. View titles by Jonny Lambert
