Finding Bear

I think I am in love with Hannah Gold’s writing! Once again, this book was an absolute rollercoaster of a read, which - at points - I found myself almost speed reading to discover how things turned out. After many late night reading sessions, (as I couldn’t bring myself to stop) I got to the end of a book that is so full of love and warmth it is like a gigantic hug! This wonderful story is packed full of love, determination, bravery, perseverance and a clear permission to be who you are - even if that person is a little bit different! I loved the way that April Wood demonstrates all over again the need for the world to respond to the climate crisis affecting animals in the Arctic - especially the polar bears. Her beautiful, deep and inspiring connection with Bear once again melted my heart. Using her intuition and connection with him, April clearly demonstrates how far she would go for love. Risking her own life to save Bear’s cub Peanut! ❤️ I bookmarked so many favourite quotes so I’ve had to pick just a few. - That was the power of friendship. The power of the best kind of friendship. - The world is so beautiful…I don’t get why people won’t take better care of it. - The human race is like a husky pack… it needs leaders. People to look up to. People to follow. You’re that person April. - But your dreams April. You dream of saving the world. That’s what makes you extraordinary…you might not be the tallest, or have the loudest voice, but you lead with your heart.
