A winter wonderland awaits a young polar bear cub as it emerges from its den for the first time. As the cub sets out on a dramatic Arctic journey, it worries whether it has the skills to survive. But a parent's abiding presence and simple, reassuring words instil confidence and love. In the tradition of such classics as The Runaway Bunny and Mama Do You Love Me?, this graceful, soothing tale speaks to the powerful bond between parent and child, and to the many stages of a child's growing independence, from first steps to first school experience and even to leaving home.
