Overview
An inspirational folktale about conservation and the importance of protecting our environment by the Carnegie Medal nominee Poonam Mistry.
Bear lives in the bountiful forest, filled with breathtaking flowers and plants and towering trees that stretch up to the sun. One night the trees and plants disappear. And when the animals wake up, they begin to flee the forest in grief. But Bear finds a lonely seed. He works tirelessly to help it grow, seeking words of advice from the few animals that pass by. He protects it from the harsh wind and the cold snowy season. But he can’t avoid nature’s power, and soon it is time for him to hibernate. Bear hopes that when he wakes up, his determination will help the forest renew.
