Big Bear, Little Brother - Tapa blanda

"With a very limited colour palette, Oftedal skilfully evokes the snowy setting of this story. Her pencil line is fantastically expressive, conveying emotion as well as fluidity and texture. And the incredible softness of the bear contrasts beautifully with the hardness of the ice." --Kate Greenaway judging panel "The stunning artwork evokes the great strength, grandeur, and gentleness of the bear and the cold and loneliness of the snowy landscape. This winter tale is a solid choice for storytimes, and young readers will be drawn to the unusual friendship." -- School Library Journal

On the ice, the wind is blowing gently and Big Bear has paused for a moment on his journey. Suddenly the stillness is broken with a cry as a child tumbles down an icy cliff. . . Carl Norac's delicately woven tale is accompanied by beautiful, evocative illustrations from Kristin Oftedal.
