L'ós blanc

Long, long ago, in the icy lands of the far north, Raven the mischief-maker takes a bear-child from his mother. A hunter and his wife find the child and, wrapping him in sealskin, they sing him songs of the ice, the wind, and the great white bears. But the child wanders off, with consequences for both animals and people. Set in the pristine polar regions of the Arctic, Jackie Morris's beautiful story of trickery, loss, and restoration reminds us that we are caretakers of these wild creatures, and our actions directly affect their future.
