Piya knows things. And at the edge of the frozen world, knowing things turns out to be the bravest kind of power.
When Piya steps off her little boat onto the Arctic ice, the air is so cold her breath floats away like a tiny ghost. Then she hears it - a small, sad sound behind a ridge of snow. A polar bear cub, all alone. His name is Yaya, and somewhere out there, his mother is searching for him.
Piya has no map and no grown-up to help. What she has is a well-loved scrapbook full of everything she's ever learned - and she's not about to leave a little bear behind.
As a storm gathers on the horizon, Piya reads the Arctic like a book only she knows how to open. A fox that turns brown in summer. A poppy that always faces the sun. A whole food chain hidden beneath the ice. Footprints as big as dinner plates. One by one, the things she knows light the way home.
Piya and the Little Bear is a tender, beautifully illustrated adventure about curiosity, courage, and the quiet truth that what we learn is never just for school - it's for the moments that matter most. The painterly artwork makes every spread a place to linger.
For children ages 5-8 who love animals, big adventures, and asking why? - and for the grown-ups who want them to grow up knowing that being curious is its own kind of brave.
I knew things... and knowing things helped me save her.
