Written by Martin Jenkins, Illustrated by Lou Baker-Smith
This beautifully illustrated book walks you through the life of a polar bear getting ready to hibernate for the winter, showing activities like digging a den, eating one last time, and sleeping until her cubs are born. However, when she wakes the temperature is warmer than it usually is. The book explains how climate change is changing how polar bears hunt and survive in the Arctic.
