Waiting for Winter (A True Story of Resilience and Joy in the Face of Climate Change)

Journey to the Arctic, where polar bears must await the arrival of winter. With stunning photographs from award-winning professional wildlife photographer Stephen Gorman, Waiting for Winter tells the story of a group of polar bears living in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Each year, these bears must wait longer and longer for winter, the season that brings them sustenance for the rest of the year. This hopeful nonfiction picture book gently engages and educates readers about the effects of climate change. A parent and educator guide also provides strategies and conversation starters for talking to children about Earth’s changing climate.
