Using cumulative verse, this book introduces children to the polar bears, caribou, foxes, snow owls, whales, seals,
fish, and others hardy enough to survive the Arctic's cold, and dark winter, while giving young readers an
understanding of how each creature is inextricably linked together in the chain of life.
The Arctic winter is cold, snowy, and dark. The barren landscape is covered by a layer of snow that stretches to the
horizon, with nothing to disrupt it but jagged rocks. There are only a few plants and no sunlight. And yet, there are
animals that live in this harsh environment. With lyrical text and glowing paintings that capture this mystically
beautiful environment with stunning realism, this unusual book fascinates and inspires children of all ages
