Description

Little Grazer, Big Dreams is a heartwarming blend of fiction and real-world adventure that follows a spirited bear cub growing up in the wilds of Alaska's Katmai National Park, one of North America's most remote and breathtaking national parks. Born the smallest of three, Grazer must learn to survive, stand her ground, and find her place among the mighty bears of Brooks Falls, where salmon leap and dominance rules the river. Along the way, you will meet unforgettable animal characters including her wise mother Crooked Claw and the legendary elder bear Otis each helping shape her journey from timid cub to fearless leader.

Inspired by the true story of Bear 128, Grazer, Fat Bear Week champion and devoted mother, this beautifully hand-drawn water color illustrated tale celebrates female strength, resilience, and the power of carving your own path. Grazer's story shows young readers that you don't have to be the biggest to be brave and that true leadership comes from heart, not size.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or nature lover, this book is a perfect gift for anyone who has visited Katmai National Park or dreams of it and wants to bring the magic of Alaska's bears home to their loved ones.
