Longlisted for the 2026 Klaus Flugge Prize
A Guardian Best Children's Book of 2025
A beautiful and hopeful picture book about the power of nature, from the winner of the Batsford Prize for Illustration People's Choice Award 2022.
Since the dawn of time, the Great Bear has patrolled the oceans, protecting the Earth and her animals and overseeing the delicate balance of life. But now, one creature is changing everything. And the Great Bear is unhappy.
Debut author-illustrator Annie Booker has created a breathtaking work of art with the feel of a timeless myth. Annie's hand-painted illustrations communicate the fragility and strength of the natural world, and call to mind the art and stories of Levi Pinfold, Coralie Bickford-Smith, and Jackie Morris.
The Great Bear transports the reader to a world of snowy mountains, towering waves, and deep, cold water. It is an exquisite tribute to the precious beauty of our world, and carries an invigorating message of hope. This glorious picture book includes inspiring backmatter on humanity's ongoing efforts to restore the nature of the Arctic, protect animals from extinction, and regenerate the oceans.
