Arctic Mall Adventure by Bart Stratton Pdf
Bart Stratton's Arctic Mall Adventure is a touching fable of a Polar Bear family who take a trip to the marvelous Arctic Mall. Led by their Uncle Bernie, a larger than life adventurer, the cubs and their mother set out for a day of fun and sightseeing. The bears shopping trip turns into an adventure when Uncle Bernie, who suffers from bipolar disorder, wanders off and gets lost. The story explores Uncle Bernie's manic mind insightfully and truthfully, giving a glimpse into the fantasy, confusion and isolation which Bernie experiences. Will the rest of the family be able to find Uncle Bernie? Can the cubs convince Bernie to take the medicine he needs? With a cliff hanger ending, the book breaks new ground, while always being entertaining. Fresh, cinematic illustations by Scott Riddle make the book a visual feast. Teachers, physicians and family therapists, will also find this book a helpful introduction to mental illness for children of all ages. Visit him at www.strattonarts.com
