As a child, Simon Jackson found navigating the world of the school
playground difficult. He felt most at home in the woodlands,
learning about and photographing wildlife. As a teenager, he became
fascinated with spirit bears, a rare subspecies of black bear with
creamy white fur. These elusive creatures were losing their habitat
to deforestation, and Simon knew he had to do something to protect
them. He decided he would become the voice for the spirit bears.
But first, he would have to find his own. Carmen Oliver's inspiring
true story is based on the early life of Simon Jackson, who founded
the Spirit Bear Youth Coalition. On his remarkable journey to
protect the spirit bears, he met Dr. Jane Goodall and eventually
hiked the Great Bear Rainforest --- the home of these elusive
animals. Katy Dockrill's captivating art adds depth and beauty to
the story. Photos and additional details about Simon Jackson's life
and about spirit bears are included in the end matter. Part of the
CitizenKid collection, this book demonstrates how one child can be
a voice for change. Simon's story is an excellent example of growth
mindset at work, highlighting personal growth and overcoming
obstacles through activism. This book can also be used to lead
discussions about character education as it relates to courage,
resilience and perseverance. In addition, it has strong science
curriculum links to the environment, animal habitats and the
effects of clear-cutting.
An endearing and humorous picture book about friendship, authority
- and reading.
