I’m so happy to be able to show you the beautiful cover for my upcoming book, A BEAR’S YEAR, which will be published by Schwartz & Wade in October.

Gerry Turley’s illustrations are perfect for this story of a mother bear and her cubs’ adventures through the seasons.

Here is the publisher’s description:

Deep in her den under a snowflake blanket, Mama snuggles her newborn babies. When spring arrives, the bears awaken and emerge from their lair, and as the weather warms to summer, Mama teaches her young ones to fish, gather berries, and dig for roots. Then, in fall, the leaves turn gold, food grows scarce, and the family prepares for hibernation and the coming winter.

With spare, accessible text and charming illustrations, here is a sweet, gentle introduction to how bears experience the changing seasons, perfect for the youngest readers and listeners

I can’t wait to hold this book in my hands and share it with you!
