Where was the bear born? Where delivered? By the moon, next to the sun Among the stars of the plough Sent to Earth in a golden cradle With silvery chains. Poorling is a little bear. She's a bit different from her brothers. Mother keeps their family safe. For the Forest is full of dangers. It is there that Mana lives, with her Shadow children. And above them all, Emuu, the great Grandma in the Sky. From the heart of Finnish folklore comes a breathtaking tale of mothers, daughters, stars and legends, and the old gods and the new.

3 ⭐This is a Finnish creation story. What I can say is it is beautiful and it‘s interesting and it‘s heartbreaking. But I cannot say I understood it. There are the spirit gods, the bears, the offspring, the shadows. All living together, and for lack of a better term, hating each other. There is this black flame that thinks it‘s a bear until it comes to find out it‘s not a bear but the flame. It always thinks it‘s a bear and it‘s only the bear

LibrarianRyan mother that says no you‘re not go away. They are extremely sad points like when our poor fire learns how to make meat. Or when characters, die, and then die some more, and then even more die. This book is highly interesting, and the artwork is amazing. I could see literature classes, dissecting this book in the decades to come. 5mo
