Our Islands 2

In Our Islands by Bear, a sudden storm sweeps a cosy island life away and sets a gentle, heart-tugging adventure in motion. This illustrated children’s picture book blends friendship, home and belonging with the thrill of island exploration. Cast adrift and alone, Bear washes up on an unfamiliar shore where fear slowly gives way to curiosity. He meets Isla, an unexpected friend with a brave streak, and together they set off across a chain of sparkling islands. Each new place reveals a different kind of home—colourful, surprising, and full of life—yet Bear can’t shake his longing for the island he knows. Perfect for young readers who love nature settings, ocean adventures and reassuring stories about change, this is a lovely read-aloud for families and classrooms alike. Add it to your shelf and let Bear and Isla guide you across the islands.
