A magical, wordless story of unlikely friendship that celebrates art and its ability to connect us all.

When dancers have a photoshoot at the Central Park Zoo, a young, African American ballerina and a polar bear form a special friendship. When his new friend leaves her scarf behind, the polar bear must venture through Central Park and out into Manhattan to return it before her performance at Lincoln Center.

However, the theater goers eye the strange bear with suspicion. When the ushers won’t let him inside, the ballerina comes to his rescue and welcomes him in. The polar bear has dreamed of seeing the ballet, and now he gets to be a part of it in the most surprising way.

A wonderful tale that your young readers will adore, this picture book can also open a conversation about alienation and empathy. Who is kept out of the theater? How can we welcome them in? A deeply moving story, filled with lush, powerful pictures that draw you in from the very first page!
