The Great Grizzlies Go Home
Two curious young grizzly bears go on A very long swim, far from their usual home in the Great Bear Rainforest. They crunch tart red cranberries in the bog then dig for crabs on the beach. They wander through backyards and feast on plums. Then they sniff something even more delicious—mmm, barbecued salmon. But a village full of people is no place for grizzly bears, no matter how sweet the plums or how tasty that salmon smells. Time for a helicopter ride home!
The Great Grizzlies Go Home tells the story of the bears’ adventurous journey, ending in their safe relocation back to the mainland. Featuring detailed watercolour paintings, engaging text and a concluding section with bear safety tips, the book will capture the imagination of readers young and old.

What a beautifully illustrated and interesting picture book for all ages. I remember when this incident happened and as I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia was amazed that the grizzlies were able to accomplish such a feat, the water is soooooo cold in these parts, lol!! Thank you Judy for such a wonderful story and the absolutely gorgeous illustrations!!!!

This is a great book. I wish it had a little summary at the end about the situation described in the book. The illustrations are well done and make me want to visit the area.

Living in BC myself, this book is absolutely an amazing representation of our local bears, our wildlife, our Indigenous community, our small island towns, and more!
This is a great picture book to showcase wildlife in populated areas, and how we can attempt to live harmoniously with the creatures who were here first.
Beautiful illustrations, and told in a story format, this book is also informative!
Well done! I’ll be getting a copy for our school library.
