There are times when only a polar bear will do . . . Gran and me. The beach and the sea. This is my home now - with my new family at Lighthouse Cottages. It wasn't easy at first but Gran helped to make everything OK. She's getting a bit forgetful these days and everyone looks worried. I know better though and I think she's fine . . .

Meet Maya as she comes to terms with big changes in her family. And meet Mister P, the world's most helpful(ish) polar bear. Packed with gorgeous illustrations throughout, readers will love this fun and heartwarming story.
