About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about why the planet is warming or expresses worry about how animals survive in a changing climate. It offers a gentle but factual entry point into environmental science through the lens of a family adventure in Northern Canada. Riley and his relatives travel to Churchill to help polar bears that are stranded because the sea ice hasn't frozen yet, making it a perfect choice for kids who want to understand climate change without being overwhelmed by fear. The story emphasizes teamwork and scientific curiosity as Riley learns how humans can help protect wildlife. It bridges the gap between a fun travel story and an educational STEM resource, focusing on empathy for animals and the importance of ecological balance. It is ideal for elementary-aged readers who are transitioning into longer chapter books but still enjoy a visual, fast-paced narrative.
