Illustrated by

A paean to parent-child love through the eyes of a (not gendered) adult polar bear and cub. In calming rhymed text, the parent takes the child through the year, explaining what will change with each season as well as what will not change: the parent's love. Gentle illustrations in a soft, snowy palette reinforce the sweetness and togetherness. Nice treatment of an overdone premise.
