Lindsay Moore's remarkable and beautifully illustrated picture book follows a lone polar bear as she makes her way across sea ice in the Arctic. Sea Bear is a deeply moving and informative story about perseverance, family, nature, and climate change that will resonate with readers of all ages. A solitary polar bear travels across the sea ice in pursuit of food. As the ice melts and food becomes scarce, she is forced to swim for days. Finally, storm-tossed and exhausted, she finds shelter on land, where she gives birth to cubs and waits for the sea to freeze again. Informed by the author's background in marine science, Sea Bear is a vivid and moving page-turner with a vital message about our changing planet. This is a gorgeously illustrated book, with the perfect marriage of scientific fact and poetry, that shows the reality of climate change and how it poses a threat to animals of the Arctic. Perfect for family and classroom sharing. Includes extensive backmatter about Arctic animals, climate change, and sea ice.

Die unglaubliche Reise einer Meeresschildkröte
Im Jahr 1997 fanden Fischer eine kleine verletzte Meeresschildkröte im Ozean und nahmen sie an Bord. Sie wurde auf den Namen Yoshi getauft und zur Erholung ins Two Oceans Aquarium in Kapstadt gebracht. Im Schutz des Aquariums wuchs Yoshi, wurde stärker, schloss Freundschaften und hatte bald zahlreiche Fans. 20 Jahre später kehrte Yoshi ins Meer zurück. Forscher*innen brachten einen Peilsender an ihrem Panzer an und verfolgten so ihre unglaubliche Reise: 982 Tage lang schwamm Yoshi über 40.000 km und verschickte dabei 23.167 Funksignale – bis sie schließlich nach Hause zurückkehrte. Die wahre Geschichte einer Meeresschildkröte – in stimmungsvollen Bildern und poetischer Sprache zu Papier gebracht von Meeresbiologin Lindsay Moore.
