A lonely old woman adopts a polar bear and cares for him until he is grown. When the bear must leave the village, he continues to visit and provide for his "mother" in this gentle story. RIllustrated in muted pastel colors, the pictures capture this stark, yet beautiful, winter world. . . . A heartwarming selection to fill requests for multicultural picture books and/or books on this region.S-- School Library Journal
