This book tells the story of a curious little girl named Clementine and her discovery of a polar bear in her mother’s old books.

This discovery is shocking to Clementine, as she is born generations after the extinction of polar bears due to extreme climate change and global warming.

Clementine represents the possibility of the future generation where climate change can have a huge impact on children.

The story aims to show readers that although this is a work of fiction, it bases its setting on the near possible future.
