In an enchanted Alaskan forest, join a family of bears as
they encounter different perspectives and values. They ultimately share a
common purpose with a salmon and resolve their conflict with a golden-haired
trespasser. She learns precious lessons from them, as well as from her bald
eagle companion about respect, kindness, apologizing and forgiveness.
Hand-carved wooden marionettes bring this story to life with charming literary
rhymes, alliterations, and idioms which engage, educate, and amuse.
Hand-painted scenery presents the misty fjords and totems of Southeast Alaska
in glorious color. Opportunities abound to connect this story to ecology and
geography, biology, history, and social justice.
