Sumikko Gurashi: Shirokuma's Journey — A Gentle Story About Belonging
The perfect first Sumikko Gurashi picture book for your child!

Shirokuma (the White Bear) was born in the Arctic, but... he’s terrified of the cold.
All he dreams of is living somewhere warm and cozy.
One day, after hearing about the warm seas far to the south, Shirokuma decides to set off on a brave journey, carrying only his precious blanket.
Will he find a place where he can feel safe and warm?

Through this gentle, heartwarming story, children will discover what it means to search for a sense of belonging, the importance of friendship, and how everyone—no matter how different—deserves a place where they feel safe, loved, and accepted.
