Grumpy Bear’s favorite place to walk is the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail in Shippensburg! On his walk, he found some cool trees to climb as well as a tree with white flowers. He decided to climb this tree, too, so that he could get a better look at the flowers. While walking past the Township Park, he found an American flag waving in the breeze, and later on the trail he found a yellow flower that matched his bow-tie. Grumpy Bear is a little sad that he can’t visit schools and meet new friends yet, but he is so excited to see what you find on your adventures! He wants to remind everyone to be safe and have fun!

On his walk, Grumpy Bear also found a log to walk across, a farm, an cow, and a bench to take a rest. Further down the trail, he found a field, a picnic table and a rock to paint. What did you find on your adventures? Send us your photos if you would like us to share them here!

Due to the spread of COVID-19, I will not be doing any in-person school visits until it is safe to do so. Until then, when the book is released I will be doing virtual readings of the book. If you would like more information about my presentations for students, or to plan an author visit for your school in the future, feel free to email me for more information.
