(3) K-3 Illustrated by Charles Santoso. Inspired by real polar bears, Ida and Gus, who lived in the Central Park Zoo, Levis writes a tender tale of friendship and loss. Soft, luminous digital artwork of the bears before and during Ida's illness--and, later, of Gus alone--blend seamlessly with the lyrical text. As Gus heals, the city's heartbeat reminds him that Ida "is right there. Always." An author's note is included.
