Excerpt from Tell Me A Story, Mama Litle Berry and Mama Bear - Chapter Eight - Goldies Great Adventure

"Mama, I want a great adventure too! I want to run with Rabbit and fly with Crow. I want to swim with Tad and hop with Frog, and dodge the bats. I want to see places I haven't seen and do scary things that turn out okay. I want to hunt by myself and wander the woods. I want to be bigger than I am, so I don't get scared at night when the wind howls too loud, and the lightening flashes too bright...I want to stay up late when you aren't around to protect me." He looked up into Mama's face.

Mama saw a flash of thought in his eyes. She waited for him to speak as she took his paw.

"Well, maybe all of that is not what I want just yet. Maybe some of that is too scary to do by myself. Maybe I always want to sleep in the warmth next to you, and know you are close. Maybe the dark at night is too dark yet. Maybe I could do adventures on my own next year. I guess I want to stay little, for a little while longer."

“Throughout the history of our species, nature has always been our great teacher, providing us with inspiration, life lessons and endless mysteries worthy of our nascent curiosity. In this wonderful collection of stories, Lynne Austin reconnects the modern psyche with such lessons, nurturing the awe and wonder of children through their innate fascination with our fellow animals and the natural world itself. These narratives speak deeply to the human spirit, in adults as well as children. In a world beset by complexity and hyper-stimulation, these stories help us hear, once again, the quiet but wise voices speaking to us across the ages.” - Phillip Sutton Chard, MS, author of The Healing Earth; Nature’s Medicine for the Troubled Soul

“Teaching our children to live simply and authentically in a world that is so often materialistic can prove difficult. Austin captures the heart of what every parent wants for their child through the priceless lessons Mama Bear teaches Little Berry. She does it so eloquently and truthfully, new hope will rise up to make your heart sing. Austin’s book not only instills the true essence of life to young children, but gives pause to adults to reflect on what truly matters.” - Barbara Gail Techel author of Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog
