A beautiful, honest portrait of loss and deep friendship told through the story of two iconic polar bears.
"An example of children's books at their best."
-Dan Yaccarino, The New York Times Book Review
“I am in awe of this wise, endearing, tender and beautiful—so very beautiful—book, which is sure to become a classic of children’s literature…. The words and the pictures meld perfectly to explore the emotional journey of love and loss, breaking your heart and then beginning to mend it.”
– Judith Viorst, author of the bestselling Alexander books and The Tenth Good Thing About Barney
