The Great Bear
A story inspired by an old inuit folktale about a bear God that decided on the worthiness of hunters, and wether they were successful in their efforts or not. Rewritten as a warning against overfishing, and a reminder of our polar bear spcies and their decline due to human action.
Winner of the Batsford Prize 2022 People’s choice awards.
Highly commended ny Macmillan 2022.
