True North - An Arctic Fable (Paperback)

Polar bears are the "kings and queens" of the Arctic. With the exception of humans, they are top of the food chain. They are as comfortable in the icy ocean water as they are on top of land and ice. These amazing creatures have adapted to an unforgiving climate and have become masters at their own survival. Yet the world is changing - the hunting ice is melting, swim distances are increasing- the usual nomadic routes of the polar bear are challenged for resources necessary to their survival. So, what does one polar bear do? He follows his True North. Take a romp through the Arctic with Mato (MAH-toe) the polar bear as he navigates a changing climate and being on his own. Gain insights into the cold and barren Arctic ice cap as Mato learns about family, friendship and forging a new path. Come to understand the moral of True North as you journey alongside Mato through adventures with his sister, mother, an Arctic fox and other male polar bears. Encounter several creatures naturally found in the region as well as a couple of characters from foreign places who come alive with dialogue, mystery and little "magic." Witness the immediate and distant effects of humans, past and present and the unique perspective only a polar bear has. True North is certainly a fable, with animals that speak and a moral that can be applied to everyday life- to follow your heart. By doing so, we may learn to adapt in an ever-changing world ourselves and, possibly, even thrive.
