Description



Book Synopsis



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.



About the Author



Poonam Mistry graduated with a degree in graphic design and illustration from the University of Hertfordshire in England. Her style incorporates her love of nature and her Indian roots and explores the relationships between pattern, shape, and color. She is the creator of You're Safe with Me, You're Snug with Me, and How the Stars Came to Be, all of which were short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal, as well as The Midnight Panther, which was short-listed for the Yoto Carnegie Medal. Poonam Mistry lives in Leicester, England.
