The Polar Bear Son: An Inuit Tale

A lonely old woman adopts, cares for, and raises a polar bear as if he were her own son in this retelling of a traditional Inuit folktale.

When jealous villagers threaten the bear's life, he is forced to leave his home and his "mother."

"The story gives a picture of motherly love toward an 'adopted child,' one the woman will love always. Heartwarming." —School Library Journal

"Illustrated in muted pastel colors, the pictures capture this stark, yet beautiful, winter world. . . . A heartwarming selection to fill requests for multicultural picture books and/or books on this region." - School Library Journal
