A NEW BOOK!!

A New book!! So EXCITING!!

I’m delighted to announce the upcoming publication of
Sara’s Story – The Bear Nobody Wanted.
Sara’s Story is the third book in the Kenyon Bear series.

Normally I write about horses and horse training. There is a connection to the Kenyon Bear Books. Those of you who are familiar with my work know that I often refer to the classic children’s story Black Beauty. I reference that book when I talk about the underlying belief system that supports training choices. In the mainstream, conventional horse world horses are viewed as stupid animals, and because they are stupid, you have to use force to train them. What’s added to this is: “Don’t worry, dear, they don’t feel pain the way we do.”

I never bought into this description of horses. I believe that horses are intelligent animals who have a rich emotional life. Here’s how I describe the unapologetically sentimental perspective I bring to horse training: “I read Black Beauty when I was little and I cried when Ginger died.”

That’s the connection between horse training and my newest children’s book. I was very much thinking about Black Beauty and Ginger when I wrote i

I’m never very good about talking about my own books. I’m always afraid I’ll say too much and give the story away. I’ll just say that the book is filled with magic, adventure, friendship, and a happy, though bittersweet ending. It is a book I would have loved as a child. I know I would have read it over and over which is how all the best children’s books are read.

Enjoy The Kenyon Bear Books

The Kenyon Bear Books: “Teddies to the Rescue” and “Edgrr the Bear Who Wanted to be Real”

Order them through my web site: theclickercenter.com or get them from Amazon.

In “Teddies to the Rescue” I introduce you to Kenyon. Kenyon lives in the window of the Shuttle Hill Herb Shop.

The shop was a real place. For twenty years the children in the village could visit the bears playing in the window. They never knew what the bears would be doing. They might be heading out for a wintertime adventure . . . ,

or helping to keep the shop neat and tidy.

The books turn their adventures into stories everyone can enjoy.

You can order both books from my web site: theclickercenter.com or through Amazon.

It’s Publication Day!

It’s Publication Day!! Help me celebrate by ordering your copy of “Edgrr The Bear Who Wanted to Be Real” today!!

I know I’m supposed to be offering you all sorts of limited time offers to get you to buy the book, but that’s never been my style.

Instead I’ll share a review of the book that a reader sent me when Edgrr was first published in 1987:

“Emma (Age 6) and I snuggled down with Edgrr The Bear Who Wanted to Be Real, and read it straight through. When we finished, we felt wonderful and thought it was a very special and important thing that Edgrr learned. Thank you for sharing.”

The Kenyon Bear Books are stories to grow up with. They are stories that will be read over and over again, as all the best stories from our childhood were. It’s a gentle magic. There are no super heroes saving the world, just teddy bear size adventures to be shared at bedtime.

Order your copy through my web site theclickercenter.com or get it through Amazon. If you live outside the US, that’s your best option because you will save on the international shipping.

Edgrr is available both in paperback and hardcover. They are different sizes. The paperback is the perfect size for reading aloud and sharing the many illustrations. The hardcover is for your young independent reader. As they fall asleep, they can tuck the book under their pillow to inspire their own nighttime adventures.

Help me turn Edgrr into an Amazon bestseller. Order your copy today!!

Tomorrow is Publication Day!

Edgrr The Bear Who Wanted To Be Real

Tomorrow is Publication Day!

From the Book:
And now was a time to warm cold paws, dry wet fur, and munch marshmallows.  Edgrr decided that marshmallows were something real bears ate a lot of.  But he couldn’t decide how he liked his done best. 

He tried roasting them slowly so that they were an even crusty brown all around the outside.  That was delicious.  Then he tried putting them in the hot part of the fire until they burst into flame.  They turned black, but inside they were soft and gooey.  He liked that, too.  It was a hard choice.

“Let’s have a ghost story,” piped up one of the little bears.
 
“Yes, Kenyon,” said another, “tell us a story.”

Kenyon paused in the act of skewering a marshmallow onto his stick. 

“I don’t know any stories,” he teased.

“Of course, you do.  Tell us a story.  Go on, you’re the oldest.”

“Oh, all right.”  He thought for a moment.  He stared across the fire at Edgrr.  He knew the perfect story.  “All right.  Here goes.”

Tomorrow is Publication Day!!! You can order your own copy of “Edgrr the Bear Who Wanted to be Real” and share Kenyon’s ghost story with your young readers.

Celebrating The New Books!

Celebrating The New Books!

It’s winter. The horses like this time of the year. No flies. No summer heat, just long naps with the winter sun warming their backs.

Winter is a time for dreaming, a time for stories. It is the perfect time for “Edgrr the Bear Who Wanted to be Real”

The new book will be published Feb 1 2024

That’s the new children’s book. Today is January 28 and I am celebrating my other new book, “Modern Horse Training” at this year’s Clicker Expo Live. I started my day with a Book Nook conversation with Ken Ramirez. What a pleasure and what an honor to talk about the book with Ken.
