Where do Petoskey stones come from? Based on a Native American legend a family learns the story of a natural wonder.

Perhaps the answer lies in the discovery that Mother Bear has been leaving her tears all over the beaches of Lake Michigan for hundreds of years. Walk the shores of Lake Michigan with grandpa and his grandchildren on their rock hunting expedition, in search of the great Petoskey stone. Grandpa passes on the age old Ojibwe Sleeping Bear legend, and reveals the untold story of the Tears of Mother Bear.
Anne Margaret Lewis enjoys taking unique ideas and sharing them with children through her writing. Anne, a graduate of the University of Michigan, was born and raised in the Detroit area. Anne Margaret Lewis has been writing children's books since the sixth grade when she 'wrote, designed and published' her first children's book. She is the author of HAS ANYONE SEEN CHRISTMAS?, SANTA GOES GREEN, HIDDEN PUMPKINS, and many others. Anne lives in Michigan.

As summer was fast approaching
And school was coming to an end
I’d be dreaming of summer vacation
Of traveling to our cottage once again
