Protecting the Planet: Ice Journey of the Polar Bear

A beautifully illustrated and atmospheric story exploring how polar bears are coping with climate change; a stunning new addition to the Protecting the Planet series. It snowed last night. The first fall of the season. More is on its way. For this polar bear, this is a sign it's time to make a den, a safe place to sleep through the harsh Arctic winter and to give birth to her cubs. But the Arctic is changing; familiar landscapes are melting. What kind of world will her cubs grow up in? This beautifully illustrated picture book gently explores the effects of climate change on polar bears, along with information on how we can all make a difference and protect the planet for these majestic animals.
