WASHINGTON, Conn. - s4story -- "Little Brown Bear and You" is the newest book by prolific author and poet Susan A. Katz of Washington, Connecticut. Published in paperback and Kindle e-book, Katz's latest book will be released online and in bookstores nationwide on Friday, May 24, 2024, by Austin Macauley Publishers of London.

The book features three stories. "Little Brown Bear and You" is the story of a lonely little bear looking for someone to love. Katz's second story, "Vadie and Natie and the Bear in the Bucket", is about a little lost bear who doesn't want to spend a long, lonely night alone.

The third story is "Little Bear's Garden". Told in rhyme to extol the virtues, and celebrates the fun, of growing and eating healthy veggies.

Katz wrote the stories individually and then compiled them into book form. "These were all written for my grandchildren, Rebecca, Corinda, Valerie, Natalia, Grayson, Gabriel, and Samantha when they were young. They were meant to teach, delight, make them laugh out loud, and to express to them the joy of loving and being loved."

A nationally and internationally published poet, Katz is author of six books of poetry, a teacher, and a workshop facilitator. She has written numerous articles espousing the benefits of integrated teaching, and her poetry has been published in international and national journals, literary magazines, and anthologies.
