This book takes the theme of the previous more seriously and also features a polar bear. George’s instinct tells him the city is not the place for him. He sets out to find his place. Not the trees of the jungle; nor high mountains nor dry deserts. The sea tingles with familiarity but not on Kanagawa-like waves. Then he sees a cold white land and knows he is home. The spare text gives this story poignancy; there are undercurrents of refugee displacement. Hope shines through the illustrations which are bold in shape and colour, washed by the blue of George’s mood. Understated and provocative at once.
