Elma - A Bear's Life

Elma is a cheerful, carefree child being raised deep in the forest by a bear she regards as her father. But the bear guards a secret: in truth, Elma is the daughter of Frigga, the king's sorceress. According to a legend, Frigga must entrust her daughter to the forest so she can survive there for seven years – only then can the world be saved from destruction and mother and daughter be reunited.

The closer Elma's seventh birthday comes, the more pressing the truth becomes: the bear must reveal her origins to her – but how can he part from the girl he loves as his own daughter?

A sensitively told, charmingly illustrated fairy tale about family, togetherness and the fact that love can grow in the most unlikely places.
