In February 2019, a Russian town in the Arctic region experienced a mass invasion of polar bears. Inspired by this real-life event, this book approaches the topic of polar bears’ predicament from a fresh and unique perspective. Sprinkled with dark humour and a twist of a classic tale, the story travels seamlessly between reality and imagination, nurturing empathy and curiosity in the hearts of young readers.
