Hi Tara! Congrats on the August 4th release of I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BEAR BOOK.  I love the idea of an alien character being displaced in a Nursery Rhyme.  All of the THINK QUICK themes below appear in your book.  Let’s see which way you lean.  Remember, THINK QUICK!

On The Unexpected:
Embrace or repel?


Embrace. Hug. Kiss.


On Nursery Rhymes:
Classic or creative?


Classic-ly creative. Or creatively classic.

On Being Lost:
Panic or problem solve?


GPS!!!

On Traditions:
Tried & true or try something new?


Something new!


On Aliens:
Believer or skeptical?


They’ve gotta be out there SOMEWHERE. I mean, have you seen the Hubble Deep Space images?


On Broken items:
Discard or repurpose?


Be crafty. Etsy-fy.

On Problem Solving:
Work alone or consult others?


A little of both!

On Books:
I Thought This Was a Bear Book or I Thought This Was a Bear Book?


I thought this was a question…?


Ha! Thanks for thinking quick with us! Crafty, clever, and humorous... just as I thought.

Yesterday at a Barnes & Nobles in Boston, I saw "I Thought This Was A Bear Book', told everyone around me how wonderful is is and how wonderful Tara is. Several people bought it!

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
