Big Bear, Little Brother by Carl Norac

Shortlisted for Kate Greenaway Medal 2011.

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.

"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"
