It talks of an endangered species of bear and their threatened conservation area.

Far to the north along the Pacific coast of Canada lies an area where abundant rainfall nourishes everything from bright green grasses and colorful wildflowers to ancient, towering cedar, spruce, and sitka trees.This rainforest is the perfect habitat for salmon and a wide variety of birds, insects, and animals, most notably a unique type of black bear called the spirit bear, which is sometimes clothed in creamy white fur and has become legendary among the First Nation people who live in the region.Noted naturalist Dorothy Hinshaw Patent describes the elusive spirit bear and its home, which is in danger of being destroyed by loggers and settlers as they clear-cut the ancient forests for lumber.Every part of the delicate ecosystem is threatened.But steps are now being taken to set aside a protected spirit bear sanctuary-a living museum where people could come and see the spirit bear's realm.The beautiful, detailed watercolors by Deborah Milton will transport readers to this magnificent yet vanishing region.
