Description
In this tender, beautifully written story, Ida, a polar bear, faces the ache of separation and the complicated work of grief. When her companion is gone, the zoo’s quiet routines become a backdrop for longing, memory, and the small, hopeful moments that help a heart keep going. Drawing on the real-life bond between Gus and Ida at New York’s Central Park Zoo, the book explores themes of love, loss, resilience, and the ways animals—and people—express emotion. Caron Levis’s lyrical, accessible storytelling brings an intimate emotional depth to a true-life animal story, inviting readers to reflect on companionship and the meaning of caring for one another.
