The Arctic is more than ice and snow. As the seasons change and winter turns to spring, birds return, seals leap and splash, and polar bears are born. Childlike, rhythmic text invites us to greet the animals that come with the turn of seasons-- Hello, birds! Hello, seals! Hello, cubs! --while gorgeous illustrations reveal the wondrous creatures and colors of this stirring northern land. Theodore Taylor, the author of many bestselling novels for teens, combines talents with visionary artist Margaret Chodos-Irvine in an exhilarating celebration of the wonders of the Arctic.
