Congratulations on the release of BEARLY LEARNING ABOUT
WATER. Please tell us more about it.
About the book: This
is a humorous and heartwarming picture book targeted for children 4-8 years of
age. It is about two bear cubs who hunt for food for the very first time.
Sister wants fish but little brother gives her a hard time because he’s afraid
of water.
Two bear cubs
search for food on their own. Sister Molly wants to catch fish but her little
brother, Fritz, gives her a hard time because he really doesn’t like water.
Will he finally get over his fear of water?
What was the inspiration for this book?
Mary: I was inspired to write the story after watching a
toddler at a water park. Every time his parents tried to get him into a small
pool, the little boy cried and screamed. Once they convinced him, he did not
want to come out.
What is your favorite moment from the book?
Mary: My favorite
moment is when Fritz sticks his feet into the water and discovers that it’s fun
to play in the water.
Is this your first published book?
Mary: This is my
third book. My other books are “The Odd Chick” and “The Turtle Who Imagined”
which recently won a 2012 Book of the Year Award.
We’d love to hear more about you.

Sounds like a wonderful book for children Mary. Wishing you great success. Thanks for sharing Kai.
My pleasure, Susan. Thanks for stopping in.
All best wishes for the success of your book. Very interesting post, Kai!
It's helpful for children to see their fears in other children, or critters, as the case may be.
