Like my book, this book is filled with tips and terms from A to Z to connect readers to the writerly process and life. There are inspiring quotes sprinkled throughout and the illustrations by Pullen are bright and vivid. It’s the perfect backdrop to the beautiful poetry and prose written by author Hershenhorn.

of beaten foes,

of triumps, alas, to behold.

I return to this book time and time again for inspiration and to spark my imagination.

From Carmen's list on picture books about bears, buddies, and writing.
