In the village where Lars lives, the animals have always had enough fish to eat and to share. But one day, the seals come up from the water with empty flippers: the sea has nothing to offer but ice floes. Lars realizes that he must do something or everyone will starve. So the little cub takes a big risk: he goes to investigate the humans who live nearby. Filled with drama and suspense, this gripping tale also teaches children a simple lesson about ecology and living in harmony with our animal friends.
