520    When a mother and daughter find a polar bear cub alone on 
       the sea ice, the daughter cannot bear to leave it behind. 
       Finding no mother bear in sight, the two adopt the cub and
       raise it as the girl's brother.  The cub and the girl 
       become fast friends-even if the cub's bear sense of smell 
       always means he wins at hide-and-seek! The cub hunts for 
       the community, and they never want for food. But the cub 
       continues to grow, and eventually he is no longer a fuzzy 
       little cub, but a powerful full-grown bear. Some in the 
       community become fearful of the bear, but the girl and her
       mother love him just the same.  That is, until one day, 
       the bear returns from a hunt with another bear by his 
       side. The mother soon learns that they need to let the cub
       go, in order for him to live the happy life they want for 
       him. - Many Inuit traditional stories have never been 
       written down before. Many of the stories that we publish 
       have never been written down before, having existed for 
       centuries as tales passed orally from generation to 
       generation. - This book provides a glimpse into Inuit 
       culture and also represents the preservation of oral 
       history that may otherwise have been lost. - Teaches the 
       power of unconditional love.   Marketing Plans  - E-

       available  A traditional Inuit story.   Based on a well-
       known Inuit traditional story, this beautifully 
       illustrated picture book by Inuktitut linguist Jaypeetee 
       Arnakak teaches the power of unconditional love.  
       "Adopting a lost animal and caring for it until care is no
       longer necessary is a story for all times. Here, a polar 
       bear and an Arctic landscape may make this story unique, 
       but its premise is grounded in the authenticity of 
       compassion for those in need and dictated only by the one 
       most affected. It is a lesson in selflessness and 
       benevolence and a true reflection of the graciousness of 
       Inuit values."-CanLit for Little Canadians  "[C]an open a 
       discussion with young readers about how we can often feel 
       two things at once."-CM: Canadian Review of Materials
