A Dot in the Snow

Corrinne-Averiss

Oxford Childrens Books

<p>A little polar bear, Miki, wanders away while his mother is diving for fish. He sees a dot in the snow and rushes towards it. Readers discover that the dot is a little girl. But Miki has never seen a human before and the little girl has never seen a polar bear. They discover more about each other as they play in the snow but then the perils of the polar landscape impel Miki to take the little girl home before undertaking the long journey to find his own mother. Although one is a polar bear and one is a little girl, Miki and Dot share a common experience: they are both separated from their mothers when they meet. Their bond of friendship gives them the strength to support each other during the course of a day that will last with them both forever. This is a moving and poignant story set in a changing and challenging polar landscape, perfect for the Christmas season. It wraps up important themes about empathy, kindness, and courage. The story is both simply told and affecting. The gorgeous snowscapes, full of real atmosphere, are created with printmaking techniques by debut illustrator Fiona Woodcock.</p>

Sorrel and Sage are such good friends, with so much in common . . . .They like the same games, sing the same songs, and even have the same stripe on their tails! Sorrel is sure that they're so close because they're exactly alike. But after she goes to Sage's house for a sleepover, she's not so sure anymore. Sage's home is nothing like Sorrel's—her tree is big and wide, and she has so many family members living close by—while Sorrel lives in a smaller house with just her mom. Sorrel loves staying at Sage's house, but she's afraid that Sage won't like her house even half as much because it's so different. So, despite promising to have Sage over for a sleepover, Sorrel keeps telling her that she can't come. Will Sage like Sorrel if she finds out they aren't exactly alike? A beautiful tale about differences, and why real friends will love you in spite of—and maybe even because of—them!
