Polar Bear’s Birthday Wish
Inga Yandell - Chief Editor Bare Essentials
Portia Polar Bear's Birthday Wish, a new children's book written by Margie Carroll with accompanying photography by Daniel J. Cox, is a story about a young polar bear that thinks she's much different than her other Arctic friends. With love and encouragement from her mother and other animals from the far north she finds in the end that she IS different than the other animal characters but perfect in the eyes of her mother and all the Arctic's polar bears.
Parents and children alike will delight in the exquisite photography of world-renowned wildlife photographer Daniel J. Cox who captures intimate expressions of the endangered polar bear— inspiring universal compassion and curiosity for these iconic creatures.
Fellow photographer and retired educator of more than 30 years Margie Carroll creatively appoints images with clever parable teaching self acceptance and pride in ones uniqueness. Observing and documenting animal behavior has been a passion for much of her life and with her new collection of children’s books she has now turned that love for all things in nature into a second career.
Portia Polar Bear’s Birthday Wish is just one in a series of five new children’s books that uses her story telling creativity along with hers and others photography to capture the lives of wild animals and
present their stories from the point of view of the animals offspring. Meet the stars of this story...
