Polar Star is a smart and brave little polar bear who makes his mom feel proud of him. But when it's time for him to learn how to swim, Polar Star has problems. He flaps and flounders and thinks he might drown. He is disappointed in himself, and he senses that Mom is a little disappointed too. But one day she gives him a hug and says: "It doesn't matter if you never learn to swim. I shall love you to the end of the ocean!" And that turns out to be the day when Polar Star finally learns to swim! Here's a warm-hearted, beautifully illustrated story, that small children will instinctively relate to.
