Marnie and Arnie the Invisible Polar Bear

A tale of friendship, adventure, and learning to care for the natural world

Marnie and Arnie tells the story of Marnie, a spirited child with a wild imagination, and Arnie, her invisible polar bear friend who joins her on every adventure. Marnie loves exploring, climbing, splashing, and stomping… sometimes a little too roughly.

Through their adventures, Arnie gently teaches Marnie:

• How to move through nature with respect and curiosity

• How to notice the small, magical details of the world around her

• How to care for living things, from tiny insects to towering trees

• That adventure and gentleness can live side by side

This story helps children build empathy, environmental awareness, and a sense of stewardship, all wrapped in imagination, humour, and heart.
