A new faith-based Berenstain Bears Gifts of the Spirit hardcover storybook about the joy of family from Mike Berenstain, son of the original creators, Stan and Jan Berenstain!

It's Brother Bear's birthday, and he's having a party! He can't wait to eat cake and ice cream. But he's more excited about seeing family members from far away, like Uncle Tex and Aunt May! Children ages three to seven will enjoy this sweet, faith-based story filled with fun, colorful illustrations--it's the perfect read-aloud for any day!
Mike Berenstain is an author and illustrator of children's books. He is the son of Stan and Jan Berenstain, creators of the popular Berenstain Bears series of picture books. Like Stan and Jan before him, Mike draws on his own experiences as a parent (and, now, grandparent) to inspire the family themes he writes about—including Baby Berenstain Bears, a new line of adorable board books for the very youngest fans. He lives and works in the rolling countryside of Eastern Pennsylvania—a place that looks very much like Berenstain Bear Country. View titles by Mike Berenstain
