Where Three Worlds Become One — The Beginning
A Moment From the Book
Two best friends, one very startled new bear
When Tika and Rhee spot something moving in the tall grass, they’re not expecting to find a bear who looks just like them — only brown.
Three Bears, Three Homes
Same family of bears. Three completely different worlds.
Long before they ever meet, each bear belongs to a different corner of the wild — and that’s exactly what makes the day they collide so special.
Rhee
A black bear from the forests to the east, quick-witted and always ready for an adventure.
Riz
A brown/grizzly bear from the rivers, plains, and mountains to the west, curious and a little cautious.
Tika
A polar bear from the ice and snow to the north, warm-hearted and full of questions.
Inside the Book
A few more moments from their first day together
From a tense stand-off to a science lesson about fur, here’s a peek at what happens after Tika, Rhee, and Riz meet.
The Stand-Off
Tika and Rhee freeze. Riz freezes. Nobody knows yet whether this is a friend or a very confusing stranger.
A Little Bit of Science
Why is Rhee’s coat black? Why is Tika’s white? The book sneaks in real facts about fur, climate, and habitat along the way.
Revir Saves the Day
A sharp-eyed bird named Revir spots all three mothers from high in the sky — and three new friends start to feel like family.
