G.P.Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers'
17 January 2023

Family & home stories (Children's&YA); Animal stories (Children's&YA)

From 4-time Grammy nominee Justin Roberts comes a heartfelt picture book about the lengths a father will go to in order to comfort and protect his child.

Because you and I, we're two of a pair-

you're my everything,

and I'm your polar bear.

On a wintry walk in the twilight, a father and child's antics come to resemble those of playful polar bears. As they tumble through the snow, explore icy caves, and push against the wind, Dad is a constant source of reassurance, comfort, and even a cozy ride home.

Tender illustrations and delicate verse create a playful and warm book that will help parents show their children that even through ups and downs, they will always be there.
