In the far frozen North, a polar bear and her cub set out on a long journey: a journey full of surprises, peril and wonder. And through it all, the little cub discovers that, with her mother by her side, she can do anything.

A hopeful reminder that we can face any challenge with a loved one by our side.

Always By Your Side invites readers on a sweeping and emotionally powerful journey that explores resilience, determination and the extraordinary bond between parent and child. With atmospheric artwork that captures the deep blues of the ocean to the bright, sparkling hues of the aurora, Jonny Lambert brings the Arctic to life in epic detail.

Perfect for readers who love Iris and Isaac by Catherine Rayner, Rain before Rainbows by Smriti Halls and David Litchfield, and A Dot in the Snow by Corrinne Averiss and Fiona Woodcock. This is a tale to help little ones feel confident and supported in the face of the unknown.
