Summary
Crow saw it first. The strange white creature, carried upon the dark waves towards the shore...
The animals of the forest are suspicious of the strange polar bear who has arrived on their shore with some very strange habits. It's not until they get to know him that they realise they may have a great deal in common!
Description
When a polar bear arrives unexpectedly in the woods, the other animals fear and avoid him, suspecting him to be dangerous - and his odd habit of collecting leaves only adds to their distrust. Then one day, they watch as he attempts to fly over the water with wings made of colourful leaves... trying to get back home. Perhaps he isn't so different after all?
Critic Reviews
Leaf draws on themes about the environment, prejudice against those who seem different and learning to communicate, illustrated in a way which combines the naturalistic and the fantastic. CLPE
