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.
Praise for I'll Be Your Polar Bear:

“The parent’s voice narrates the tale in gentle, first-person rhyming verses. Groenink’s beautiful, wintry, blue-lit illustrations bring the action to life. . . Unconditional love and security abound.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Tender rhymes communicate a caregiver’s bear-size love in this wintry picture book.” —Publishers Weekly
