As dawn breaks over Borneo's mystical Kinabatangan River, young Seni's greatest wish comes true: she's joining her father on a journey deep into the untamed jungle. Armed with curiosity and courage, she steps into a world of towering trees and hidden wonders-where orangutans craft umbrellas from leaves, proboscis monkeys chatter in the canopy, and rare pangolins scuttle through the shadows.
But the jungle holds dangers too: crocodiles lurk in murky waters, poachers' traps threaten clouded leopards, and scars of deforestation reveal a fragile ecosystem in peril. When a daring rescue mission unites their village, Seni learns that bravery isn't just about exploration-it's about protection. Through encounters with elephants, hornbills, and the peculiar "buffalo horn" spider, she discovers a profound truth: the jungle's fate is entwined with her own.
I Dream of Bears is a vivid, heart-stirring adventure that immerses readers in Borneo's lush wilderness. With themes of courage, conservation, and connection, this tale sparks a longing to safeguard nature's magic-one dream, and one choice, at a time.
Perfect for young explorers and dreamers, Seni's journey will inspire them to listen for the whispers of the wild... and answer with their hearts.
