Author Description

Big Bear Cares is about a little boy who meets an enormous bear in the forest. They become friends as they search for ways to keep the forest green. The bear is saddened when he sees pollution, so he summons the boy to help him teach others to keep their environment clean and to appreciate nature. Set in a beautiful forest, Big Bear Cares teaches us all valuable lessons about appreciating and caring for our land so it will not be destroyed by pollution. Author Melissa Braunns has completed three other children's books. They are Hello Sun, Hello Moon and Hello Earth. All three offer fun and educational facts about the sun, Earth and moon in an easy-to-understand format. She wants to take her writing to the next level and is now writing a new book about children stricken with cancer. I have found children to be one of the most inspirational parts of our lives and we can learn so much from them! Braunns grew up in Hondo, Texas, and now lives with her husband and children in Weston, Colorado.
