šŸ»ā€ā„ļø ā€œBut imagine if every single person on the plant just did one thingā€

ā€œThen it is still not enoughā€

ā€œBut it’s better than doing nothingā€ šŸ»ā€ā„ļø 

Let’s face it, our future generation has been tasked with saving planet earth.  Books like this will make our youngsters really think about the changes required, about their part to play in that and empower them to be that change.

The Last Bear takes us on a journey with April to Bear Island… it’s said no polar bear remains. That is until April meets bear- hungry, alone and injured due to plastics in our sea. 

The Last Bear shows us what it means to have a home, a community. That special bond with someone- whether that be a family member, a friend or indeed an animal like Bear.  It really highlights the connection between humans and animals and how we need to do our part to make sure that they continue to strive and have the homes they love. 

The Last Bear doesn’t shy away from those hard topics such as grief, loss, isolation and difficult family dynamics. 

And all of this wrapped up in a picture perfect bow.  What’s not to love? 

I’ll be visiting The Lost Whale very soon. And I cannot wait!šŸ˜
