Getting Home

Baby bear is curious, he goes where Mama said, Dont! He finds himself adrift in a BIG, BIG ocean! Will Mama bear find him before his piece of pack ice melts? The story for early childhood/lower primary, introducing children to notions of protecting the environment, animal habitats and global warming, was awarded the LiFE AWARD, Literature for Environment. REVIEW: "When an inquisitive little polar bear investigates the shenanigans of silly seals and orcas, he finds himself separated from his Mama and LOST! This tale tells more than the consequences of a littlie disobeying its parent; its underlying message is one that can be explored by all ages - the impact of Global Warming, a very real and sensitive subject that necessitates action from everyone who cares about our precious planet." Andrienne T. OConnell, teacher, B.A., Grad. Dip. Ed., taught children from indigenous outback to multicultural city classrooms.
