THE KING OF THE POLAR BEARS
A magical tale about love, loss, and acceptance.
The wise and mighty King of the Polar Bears loses his beautiful coat to human hunters of the artic.
He is saved by the gulls who shower him with feathers from which he grows a new and magnificent plumed coat.
But now, because he is neither bird nor bear, his kingship is threatened because he looks different from his fellow bears.
The King must overcome doubt and challenges to prove his worth and show that after all, what really matters is what’s on the inside.
