Rapidly melting due to global warming
An environmental picture book about the Arctic crisis

Recently, we have been hearing news of frequent heavy rains, floods, and landslides around the world.
We hear heartbreaking stories of people starving or losing loved ones due to drought, tsunamis, and tornadoes.
And that's not all.
Even in the Arctic, the coldest place on Earth, temperatures are rising, causing icebergs to collapse and melt, and animals that live there are losing their homes.
Climate change caused by global warming is a serious and unavoidable problem for both humans and animals.

"I Need to Send a Refrigerator to the Polar Bear" is an environmental picture book that uses light-hearted text and friendly illustrations to refreshingly portray the problems faced by the polar bear Ice and his Arctic animal friends due to global warming.
This book explains the importance of environmental protection through a fun fairy tale, tailored to the eye level of children who are beginning to gradually become aware of their surroundings and develop their own values.
Instead of serious, rigid lessons, children will naturally feel that environmental issues are directly related to their daily lives as they look into the vivid stories of the crises faced by Arctic animal friends. This will help them pay attention to global warming and the environmental issues surrounding us.

Unraveled with cool pictures and cheerful writing
Stories of the Arctic Landscape and Environment

Ice is the busiest polar bear in the Arctic.
Every morning, I share with my animal friends the vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice creams I made while whistling "Lulu Lala."
Just pop some freshly made, colorful ice cream cones into the snow and they'll be perfectly frozen and delicious in the cold Arctic weather.
When the little seal, little snow rabbit, and little bear each bite into their favorite flavor of sweet ice cream, the North Pole is quickly filled with happiness.

But what's going on? At some point, icebergs began to collapse here and there, and the ice began to crack.
Air pollution is causing the Earth's air to become warmer, like a blanket covering it, and the North Pole is melting.
Now, no matter how hard you work to make ice cream, it doesn't freeze as solid as it used to.


For the sake of his animal friends who can't eat ice cream, Ice sends a letter to a camel in the desert.
"Camel, send me a refrigerator to the North Pole!" But the camel's letter returned was nothing but a scolding: "Why would you need a refrigerator in the cold North Pole? Don't send me that kind of prank letter again!"
Ice, the polar bear, gets frustrated watching the little animals crying because they can't eat ice cream, and he pounds his chest and shouts loudly.

“No, no.
I'm telling you, this isn't a prank letter.
I really need a refrigerator.
“The Arctic is melting!”

The story of the cute polar bear, who makes you want to hug it softly on the vast and cool icy sea, and the Arctic animals with their playful expressions that come to life, makes the story of the faraway Arctic feel familiar.
When Ice sighs in frustration as he watches the melting iceberg, the children empathize with the importance of environmental issues as if it were their own story.

Let's stop global warming together
Let's create a green planet!

After reading Ice's story, you will have many questions about global warming.
To help you understand what global warming is and how it affects us, we've included a "Let's Think Together" appendix at the end of the book.
We teach children the principles of global warming in a way that is easy for them to understand and help them think about ways they can put into practice in their daily lives to prevent global warming.

There's more we can do to reduce carbon dioxide, the biggest cause of global warming, than we think.
The book introduces practical methods that even children can easily follow, such as using public transportation and walking short distances, unplugging electrical appliances, and replacing and recycling necessary items.
By following along, starting with small steps, children will realize that instead of sending a refrigerator to a polar bear, they can make small changes to their lifestyle and bring smiles to the animals of the Arctic instead of sighs.
