June 4, 2013

We received an update from the author of the children’s book “All Bears Need Love,” in which a baby brown bear is adopted by a Mama polar bear.

Good morning! I just came across your blog post in which you asked your readers to vote for my adoption picture book, All Bears Need Love. I am writing to thank you for your support and to let you know that the book was 1st runner up in the MeeGenius Author Challenge and it is now available in paperback at Amazon. The reviews have been wonderful and my school visits have been a great success.  I couldn’t be more proud of this book. Thanks again for your support during the contest.  - Tanya Valentine

Here’s an article about a new Children’s Book that needs VOTES to help get it published.  The article is by Theresa Waldrop of the Lilburn-Mountain Park Patch, and it talks about the author and how she came up with the idea for the book.  It is the story of a little brown bear who is adopted by a mother polar bear, and addresses the opinions of the other zoo animals.
