Bookroo's summary

In the serene arctic night, a curious polar bear cub bombards his mother with endless 'why' questions about the moon, dreams, and stars. As his mother patiently answers, the cub's wonder grows, leading to a tender bedtime moment. Will the cub's curiosity be satisfied, or will the mysteries of the night inspire even more questions? Join this heartwarming journey of discovery and love as the cub drifts into dreams, knowing his mother will dream of him too.

From the publisher

“When the moon sails high in the arctic sky, Polar Cub asks, “Mama, why?” A polar bear cub asks his mother a multitude of “why” questions before he goes to sleep: Why is there a moon up in the sky? Why do we dream? Why are there stars in the sky? And why can’t we see the stars during the day? Finally, once his Mama has explained everything to him, Mama ushers her little one off to sleep, explaining that she will sleep too, so she can dream about her dearest cub.
