The ASPCA Henry Bergh Book Award honors books that promote the humane ethic of compassion and respect for all living things. |
Through the seasons and over the years, Old Mother Bear's story unfolds. We watch her dig a winter den, give birth to three cubs, hunt for food, and defend her cubs against another grizzly bear. We witness the cubs growing up, a bear growing old and the imprint of her life upon the land. Beautifully illustrated in luminous chalk paintings.
Hardcover, ages 4-8.
