Crow saw it first. The strange white creature, carried upon the dark waves towards the shore…
When a polar bear arrives unexpectedly in the woods, the other animals fear and avoid him, suspecting him to be dangerous – and his odd habit of collecting leaves only adds to their distrust. Then one day, they watch as he attempts to fly over the water with wings made of colourful leaves...trying to get back home. Perhaps he isn't so different after all?
A heart-warming story about accepting and helping outsiders, with detailed, bright and magical illustrations.
