Books with title Big Bear, Small Bear

Debut author Shirley Rowold spins a satisfying tale of moral dilemma. Two young girls, Britta and Sylvan, grow up in a small village where everyone knows each other. For the first few years of their lives, one particular activity brought these friends together on a daily basis... playing. However, as Britta matures, she begins to take great pride in learning lessons and skills from her grandmother. This moves playing a little lower on her list of priorities. Sylvan, on the other hand, wants absolutely nothing to do with learning the skills her mother places before her. Playing is number one on Sylvan's list and anything resembling work sends her running in the opposite direction. It doesn't take long for Sylvan to see Britta reap the benefits from hard work, but will this change her mind about working for what she wants in life? Rowold's work has the same moral resolve as Aesop's The Ant and The Grasshopper -- "there's a time for play and a time for work". Shirley Rowold grew up in Warren, Arkansas but currently resides in Brownsboro, Texas near Tyler, Texas where she is at work on her next project. Website Address: www.eloquentbooks.com/BigBear.html
