About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their curious child starts asking big questions about the environment or polar bears, and they need a gentle, scientific way to explain climate change. "If Polar Bears Disappeared" uses a clear cause-and-effect narrative to show how melting sea ice impacts not just one species, but an entire ecosystem in a chain reaction that eventually affects humans. Rather than focusing on fear, it fosters empathy and wonder for the natural world. For ages 5 to 8, it's a perfect tool for families who want to have an honest conversation about a complex topic, ending on a hopeful, empowering note with actionable steps families can take together.
