Escaping flames and barbed wire, a mother, a baby, a boy, and a dog flee for their lives, climbing into a small sailboat to set off to sea. A polar bear, too, has come adrift. When will they find land? Who will welcome them in? With lyrical narration for readers 5 to 8 and Stephen Michael King's poignant ink and watercolor illustrations, this is a story about courage, endurance, and hope—and what we can be for one another.
