It is a story designed to be read aloud and to connect children with the excitement of the outdoors. The experiences of Princess and her cubs, Braveheart and Wimpy, touch on the same issues parents and children face every day in their families.

Dennis Fast

Dennis Fast is one of Manitoba's best known wildlife photographers. His photographs have appeared in many calendars and books, including the award-winning bestseller Pelicans to Polar Bears, a Manitoba wildlife viewing guide.

Dennis was a school principal for many years before retiring in 1998 to devote more time to his dual passions of birding and photography. Over the last 10 years Dennis has photographed polar bears at every season, and has had some amazing encounters.

He has also observed first hand the changing climate of the North and its effect on the polar bear. Ever-shortening winters have left many bears still hungry when summer approaches, and it has made them leaner and more aggressive, and driven them to increasing contact with man and his refuse.

To read more about the plight of the polar bear, check out Dennis' first book, Wapusk: White Bear of the North. Also watch for a new coffee table book about northern wildlife, Churchill Wild, coming soon.
