Description

Follow our brave young hero – Aknuq, as he embarks on an epic quest through rugged mountains, across icy tundras, and over perilous glaciers to discover the truth behind the disappearance of his northern ancestors. No Ordinary Bear is not just a lyrical and beautifully illustrated, coming of age story of adventure that will resonate with readers of all ages, it’s also an important reflection on the fragility of the natural world and the importance of protecting those who inhabit it.

“No Ordinary Bear is no ordinary book–it’s a journey well worth taking.” David Michael Slater, author of Bear With Me and The Boy & the Book

“Through Aknuq’s journey, we identify with a protagonist who courageously faces loss, loneliness and an uncertain future. No Ordinary Bear is a delicate coming-of-age story, an epic journey, but above all, an intense self-discovery.” – Daniela Pareschi, author and illustrator of Animali Bellissimi and Strano
