The inspiring true story of how three endangered sun bears were rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the rainforest where they belong.

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 . . .

Follow the three little sun bears from their heartbreaking beginnings as cubs stolen by poachers from their natural habitat, through their heroic rescue by conservationists, until at last they are released back into the wild rainforest of Borneo—because that’s where a bear belongs.

This captivating nonfiction picture book features insightful fact pages 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.
