A Bear in My Sky is simply perfect. It is so good, the adult who is reading it to a child, will wish to be the child! Magical, enchanting, -- no superlative is too much. This bear belongs among the classic bears of children's literature, for a whole new generation of grandmas, grandpas, parents, and lucky children. -- Pat Schneider, author, Writing Alone and With Others, and How the Light Gets In: Writing as a Spiritual Practice, both from Oxford University Press. A Bear in My Sky is a charming book of creative word play and reading fun. Diggaby Bear confronts many of the same emotions that children face in life: embarrassment, curiosity, frustration, fear, and love. This is a classic book on friendship. A must read. -- Susan K. Field, author
