#Reposting these words from my lovely publisher @flyingeyebooks ・・・ It's #PolarBearWeek, so we're looking to @SandraDieckmann's Leaf to remind us of the need to protect these majestic bears and their habitats. ❄️🌿💙 • If you are struggling to get hold of a copy, do not fret as we are eagerly and imminently awaiting a reprint. The fine folk at @Waterstones and @Foyles appear to have some in stock online and in select stores in the meantime! • #Leaf #LeafTheBook #SandraDieckmann #FlyingEyeBooks #FlyingEye #PolarBear #Illustration #Kidlit #PictureBook #KidlitArt

Happy #polarbearweek 💙

I’ve painted a few polar bears over the years and this one is still my favourite. #polarbearweek https://www.instagram.com/p/CVwUWNurxqK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Polar bear week! Polar bears are fascinating mammals, perfectly adapted to living in the Artic! Their thick fur with its well insulated underur later and shaggy guard hair protects them from heat loss- whilst under all that fur they have a layer of fat that can measure up to 4.9 inches. Perfect to keep them insulated in even the coldest of waters. Interestingly a polar bears skin is actually black- and it’s fur isn’t white at all- rather each shaft of hair is pigment free and hollow, allowing it to reflect visible light- much like the environment in its snowy region. Unfortunately these fascinating creatures face a huge danger- and that danger comes from us. As global temperatures keep rising the sea ice that Polar bears depend upon to live and hunt keeps melting, and many polar bear populations simply don’t have enough food and land to survive. Unless we seriously cut our carbon emissions now, all but a few of the northern most polar bear populations will be whipped out by the end of the century. That’s in 80 years. That’s a human life time. So please if you can support charities like @polarbearsinternational to help them with their great work they do protecting polar bears and the land they live on. And if you’re in the U.S please vote for a party that’s going to make a positive difference for the environment. Vote for a party that gives a damn. #polarbear #polarbearweek #savepolarbears #sveourplanet #polarbearillustration #polarbearsinternational #polarbearsofinstagram #polarbearart #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimal #endangeredanimalart #articanimals #ourplanetisburning #ourplanetourhome #votefortheclimate #votefortheplanet #vote2020 #voteblue2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJf18IjqoR/?igshid=13juellzymlgd
