Polar bear Nanuk shows her cubs the ways of her "quiet white world." But there is cause for concern: "The ice is melting. The sea is rising. Soon there will be no place to hunt." The story, illustrated in Winter's recognizable precise style, ends with Nanuk's hopeful dream. The fluid, well-paced text, with its unapologetically environmentalist message, is written in simple, declarative sentences.
