This book is a sweat book about family. An old Eskimo-Inuit woman adopts an orphan polar bear cub that she finds in the snow. He provides food for her and the others in the village while growing up. Some hunters get jealous and decide to kill him. The woman finds out and sends the polar bear away. After some time she reunites with the polar bear whom is now fully grown. They fish together every morning but the polar bear lives in the wild and not with the woman.
This story is a good example of a woman who "adopted" a son. This shows children that love can come from anywhere and anyone. There are many types of families and each one is no different than the other when it comes to love. I would share this with my young readers in my classroom because I think it had a good moral.
