Book Synopsis
A sweet and informative picture book about bears. For animal lovers ages 5 years and up.When Little Teddy Bear receives an invitation to a secret meeting, he doesn't hesitate and leaves right away. Upon arriving at the meeting place after a long journey, he's surprised to see seven large bears around a campfire. These bears live in very different parts of the world, but they're worried about the same thing: their habitats are shrinking or becoming more dangerous due to human beings. Will they find a way to let people know about their concerns?
With its engaging narrative and charming illustrations, The Bear Circle educates readers about 7 bear species, such as Polar bears, Kermode bears, Black bears, Spectacled bears, Koala bears, Panda bears and Grizzly bears. Additionally, the back matter includes facts about these bears, along with additional resources for further exploration.
Join Teddy Bear and his newfound friends as they embark on a quest to protect their homes and raise awareness about the importance of conservation. The Bear Circle is more than just an educational story--it's a call to action to protect our precious wildlife for generations to come.
About the Author
Ellen DeLange has been fascinated by picture books ever since she was a child growing up in the Netherlands. In the attic of her home, she assembled a small library and shared her collection with friends and family. As an adult, she started traveling and expanded her library with picture books from all over the world. Ellen also enjoyed inventing her own stories and was encouraged by her daughter to write her first picture book, A Story with a Tail. She always has new story ideas in her head and can't wait for the moment when the text and illustrations come together to make the magic happen. Ellen has a doctorate in medical sciences, and currently lives in Canada, where she loves to walk in the woods with her Jack Russell terriers (who are featured in some of her books), drink lots of tea after a busy day, and sail on the ocean to clear her mind.Malgosia Zajac is an illustrator who lives with her family in a very old Polish city called Krakow. This city is well known for its famous dragon and the Royal Castle. Malgosia believes that imagination is the most important thing in creating her art. Her head is full of all kinds of creatures, imaginary friends, magical worlds, and incredible stories. Shelves in her workshop are crowded with beautiful books, illustrated by her favorite artists from all over the world. She dreams that, one day, her illustrated books will be kept on someone's favorite bookshelf.
