About the Author
Joan Olsen is a bear lover. These magnificent creatures are frequently seen in Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia, the setting of this story. As our three year old granddaughter viewed a black bear crossing the lawn from our rear deck, I wanted to remember the event and therefore wrote a story to read to her and our other grandchildren. The story is filled with lively pictures about a place children love to visit with its mountains, hot springs and wildlife. Joan presently lives in Calgary and works as a professional accountant but adventures most weekends and holidays in Fairmont, B.C. where we all enjoy the outdoors and family time.
