What to expect

Bloomsbury presents A Bear Belongs by Catherine Barr, read by Nano Nagle.

Southeast Asian rainforests are home to the smallest and one of the rarest and most endangered bears of all: the sun bear. Sun bears belong deep in the forest, far from humans. But this is the true story of three little bears who were taken from their wild home . . .

Meet Tan-Tan "the tiny one," Kitud "the quiet one," and Boboi "the big brother." Follow them from their heartbreaking beginnings as little cubs stolen from their natural habitat, through their heroic rescue by conservationists, until at last they are released back into the wild Bornean rainforest where they belong.

Featuring insightful fact files about the amazing flora and fauna of the rainforest and the importance of this incredible ecosystem, alongside inspiring information about how to protect endangered sun bears, this book is sure to captivate hearts and minds.

Featuring atmospheric sound design throughout.
