Waluk

(4) 4-6 Adapted by Dan Oliverio. Translated by Dan Oliverio. Illustrated by Ana Miralles. Polar bear cub Waluk is abandoned by his mother and befriended by the legendary Manitok. The elderly adult male takes Waluk under his wing, teaching the precocious cub survival and hunting skills. When Manitok is captured by humans, young Waluk must rescue his mentor. The heavy-handed message about global warming and an abrupt ending mar this visually stimulating graphic novel. Websites.
