Levi Pinfold's debut, The Django, won the Book Trust Best New
Illustrator award and his second standalone picture book, Black
Dog, was awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for
excellence in children's book illustration. This was followed by
Greenling, which won the UKLA Picture Book Award. Levi has recently
turned his considerable talents to illustrating fiction for older
readers, creating exquisite pieces for the twentieth-anniversary
special editions of the Harry Potter series and working with author
A. F. Harrold on The Song from Somewhere Else, which went on to win
the Amnesty Honour at the 2018 CILIP Kate Greenaway Awards.
He currently lives in NSW, Australia.
This is an important first novel, important for us, for polar
bears, for the planet. It is deeply moving, beautifully told, quite
unforgettable

An utterly transporting story . . . Fierce and wild and full of
hope. And Levi Pinfold’s artwork is DIVINE

A beautiful story . . . My heart went out to Bear and April and the

moving read, that shows just what toll climate change is taking on
the natural world’ Lauren James

the most moving and beautifully written children’s books of recent

A dazzling debut . . . A magical, confidently told story – with
beautiful illustrations by Levi Pinfold . . . I predict a roaring
