A gorgeously lyrical folktale about the importance of protecting our environment by Greenaway-shortlisted Poonam Mistry.
Bear lives in the bountiful forest, filled with breathtaking flowers and plants, and trees that tower 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 when Bear finds a lonely seed, he works tirelessly to help it grow, seeking words of advice from the few animals that pass by. He shades it from the harsh wind and cold snowy season, but nature's power is unavoidable and soon it is time for him to hibernate. Bear hopes that by the time he wakes up, his determination will help the forest renew.
Mistry incorporates intricate patterns into her animals and landscapes, and uses a colour palette of greens, purples, browns and yellow, making this a uniquely beautiful picture book. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller *
I love Poonam Mistry's illustrations. . . Her new book, The Bear and the Seed, has a fable-like quality. . . Beautifully written, The Bear and the Seed is an engaging story that gently explores themes of environmental care and the ways small actions can make a difference. -- Alice Ellerby * JUNO Magazine *
