5.2

out of 7

4.8

The story of a mother braving the elements in search of her lost cub is simultaneously heartwarming (and a little heart wrenching if you're a mom!) The entire story speaks to the comforting fact that if you're lost, mom will always be looking for you, to bring you home and warm you up. The illustration style is bold and raw.
