rating: really liked
A heartfelt middle grade novel that celebrates a love of nature and conservationism as well as deals with grief and coping.
April is an 11 year old girl who, with her father, moves for 6 months to an island in the Arctic Circle called Bear Island, but due to the ice caps melting there are no longer Polar Bears there... or are there?
Infused with a layer of magic and wonder, this book explores what it means to take care. Take care of yourself, take care of others, and take care of your world. The message is that even if you can't do a lot, the little you can do matters. I love that message for children and parents alike that our actions have consequences, good or bad.
