Bookroo's summary

Little Cub, a curious polar bear, visits a museum exhibit and discovers bears from around the world. Her questions about diversity lead Mama Bear to teach her about the beauty of creation and the uniqueness of each bear. As Little Cub learns about different habitats and lifestyles, she wonders why God made them all different. Through Mama's wisdom, she understands that every bear has a special place in the world, highlighting the importance of diversity and care for creation. What will Little Cub discover about her own place in this vast, diverse world?

From the publisher

From the author and illustrator of the bestselling God Gave Us You series, a delightful tale of Little Cub discovering the beauty of diversity as she realizes the world is so much bigger than she ever imagined! Little Cub’s trip to a special museum exhibit, “Bears Around the World,” sparks a flurry of questions from the young polar bear who is just beginning to learn about life beyond her North Pole home. As Mama Bear shares with her about the different types of places that God has put the various types of bears, with their different kinds of fur and food, Little Cub begins to wonder: Why didn’t God make us all the same? With Mama’s loving guidance, Little Cub is taught to see the vastness of God’s wonderful creation; His abilities as an amazing, inventive Creator; His desire for us to care for our world, and especially the important lesson that… “Every bear has a special place in God’s great, big world.”
