So off they sail, together, journeying across the sea in search of the polar bear's home. And just as the bear outgrows the boat--land ho!

With exquisite skill and compassion, Richard Jones has crafted a profoundly moving story with tender illustrations and themes that will resonate with anyone who has loved and had to let go.
