Bookroo's summary

In the icy north, a lonely old woman finds a motherless polar bear cub. She raises him with love, but as he grows, she faces a heart-wrenching decision: keep him close or set him free. This tender tale explores the bond between human and wild, and the courage it takes to let go. Will she honor the call of the wild, or hold onto the love they've shared? Discover a story of love, loss, and the beauty of nature's balance.

From the publisher

In this lyrical retelling of an Inuit folktale by Dawn Casey, a lonely old woman adopts a polar bear cub with no mother of his own. Amanda Hall’s luminous artwork celebrates the radiant snow lands of the north, and the warmth of the relationship between a human being and a wild animal. With tender themes of loving and letting go, and the need to honor the wild, Little Bear will touch the heart of young readers.
