But the Arctic is changing; familiar landscapes are melting. What kind of world will her cubs grow up in? The story's clear text and gorgeous, affecting illustrations capture the massive bear's movements amid a crystalline landscape, while quietly observing the loosening ice and other effects of climate change on her life and that of her active cubs. Back matter offers more information and suggestions on how we can help protect the planet for these majestic animals.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Jenkins \u003c\/b\u003eis a conservation biologist and the award-winning writer of many nonfiction books for children, among them the Find Out About . . . series, illustrated by Jane McGuinness; \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor's Egg\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by Jane Chapman; and \u003ci\u003eA Walk Through the Rain Forest\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by Vicky White\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Martin Jenkins lives in Cambridge, England. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLou Baker-Smith \u003c\/b\u003eis an illustrator and designer whose work has appeared in picture books, magazines, greeting cards, on packaging, and more.
