Churchill, Manitoba. It’s the polar bear capital of the world, and the tourists are in for a big surprise… Winston!
Winston, a fierce, brave bear, teaches the other bears why the ice is melting. Using the words of his famous namesake, he rallies the bears to convince humans to save their arctic home.
“Ice is nice!” shout the bears. But on his way to the protest march, Winston learns an unexpected lesson and comes to realize he must change his ways, too.
A timely, heartwarming and funny story, about a very serious topic.
“Winston of Churchill is a brilliant book. Great fun to read and look at,
it painlessly teaches children a number of important facts.” — Quill and Quire
“The threatened polar bears of Churchill — as well as children everywhere — will be delighted by Okimoto’s tale of Winston the bear’s fight for ice.” — Stephen Hazell, Executive Director, The Sierra Club of Canada
