Product Description

I am a polar bear. I live on an ice floe. I lead a quiet and peaceful life with my friends. But that was before the BIG CRACK. Now we are alone. When Polar Bear and his friends are swept away from their icy home, they hope to find refuge in a new land. But when they are turned away from one new place after another, they start to doubt that they will ever find somewhere they will be made welcome.

In this exceptional book, the award-winning Barroux has crafted a powerful story with a twist ending about hugely important and current issues.
