She was very tired. She lay down her soft head on her soft paws. The sunset licked her face.
The snow covered her like a blanket. Fox wakes and begins to walk. She crosses ice and snow
over mountains and across frozen oceans encountering bears and birds beneath the endless
daylight of an Arctic summer navigating a world that is vast wild and wondrous. Meanwhile
Leila embarks on a journey of her own - finding her way to the mother who left her. On a
breathtaking journey across the sea Leila rediscovers herself and the mother she thought she'd
lost with help from a determined little fox. Based on the true story of an Arctic fox who
walked from Norway to Canada in seventy-six days a distance of two thousand miles this
compelling emotional and beautifully illustrated story is the perfect gift for 9+ readers.
