Dancing Bear
Somu the bear is unusual. He can dance! But Somu wants to be free and unchained. Can his friend Altaf understand this? This poignant story is about the friendship between a young boy and an animal, and the boy’s unique understanding of what the animal truly wants.
Manasi Subramaniam’s eye-opening tale highlights the issue of dancing bears in India, while Gwangjo and Jung-a Park’s stunning watercolour illustrations give a sweeping feel to the story.
