From 4-time Grammy nominee Justin Roberts comes a heartfelt picture book about the lengths a father will go to in order to comfort and protect his child. Because you and I,we' re two of a pair- you' re my everything, and I' m your polar bear. On a wintry walk in the twilight, a father and child' s antics come to resemble those of playful polar bears. As they tumble through the snow, explore icy caves, and push against the wind, Dad is a constant source of reassurance, comfort, and even a cozy ride home. Tender illustrations and delicate verse create a playful and warm book that will help parents show their children that even through ups and downs, they will always be there.
Praise for I' ll Be Your Polar Bear: "The parent' s voice narrates the tale in gentle, first-person rhyming verses. Groenink' s beautiful, wintry, blue-lit illustrations bring the action to life. . . Unconditional love and security abound. " -Kirkus Reviews
