And so Jesse Bear starts his day. It isn’t really an unusual day for a little bear, but the weather is warm and sunny and just right for all the things Jesse Bear enjoys doing - like playing in his sandbox, chasing butterflies, and swinging in his swing. Lilting verse and exuberant paintings combine to make Jesse Bear’s Day a very special one indeed, in a book that even the youngest readers will want to return to again and again.
Nancy White Carlstrom is the author of more than fifty books for children, including nine other titles in the Jesse Bear series, Who Said Boo?, and Wild Wild Sunflower Child Anna. Ms. Carlstrom lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, with her husband, David, and their two son, Jesse and Josh. And while the olive too far away for frequent visits with their family, they enjoy traveling to see their family as often as possible.
Bruce Degen illustrated all the Jesse Bear books. He was the author and illustrator of Jamberry, and the illustrator of the acclaimed Magic School Bus series. He taught courses on art and the writing and illustrating of children’s books to children and adults. Mr. Degen lived with his wife and their two sons in Connecticut in a renovated farmhouse with ducks on the pond, bats in the barn, and a family tree that Jesse Bear himself would love to climb.
