Pacey's Paw Prints

Lisa Monterosso Illustrated by Antonio Ordonez

A young polar bear’s dream journey reveals the growing impact of climate change on the Arctic.

While exploring, Pacey the polar bear cub notices something he has never seen before—a mountain. Hearing his dream to reach and climb the mountain, Pacey’s family agree to the long journeys ahead. But over years of venturing back and forth, the icy world they call home starts to warm, and the ice and food they once had begins to diminish due to the warming climate. Pacey's Paw Prints is a heartwarming story that looks at courage, curiosity, and the impact of global warming on our environment.

  • This thoughtful adventure contains deeper environmental themes, perfect for classroom or family discussions.
  • Empowers young readers with practical tips on how to care for the planet in their everyday lives.
  • Soft, expressive illustrations beautifully convey the frozen landscape and Pacey’s emotional journey.
Lisa Monterosso grew up in South Australia and has written stories since her childhood, inspired by the picture books her parents and grandparents read to her. She later completed a Diploma of Arts and participated in various writing groups, finding fulfilment through both her writing and through encouraging others to pursue their own creative goals. When she isn’t writing, she can be found reading, drinking coffee or spending time with her husband, family and friends.

Antonio Ordonez (known as AtOLOnia) was born in Madrid, Spain. Inspired by the birth of his first child, Antonio decided to change career and move into the world of children's illustration. His work is distinguished by the cute, friendly, and expressive characters he creates. He loves to combine digital drawing with watercolour and give free rein to his imagination.
