I will be featuring a different book in each of these posts until I have featured all 31 of my books. In this post the spotlight is on Jesse the Precocious Polar Bear. Jesse was published in April of 2014.
Jesse was dedicated to a young boy I met in Aruba while on vacation. This little boy was talking to me in the water. When I told him I was an author of children’s books about animals he announced that his favorite animal was polar bears. I promised that I would write a story just for him about polar bears and bring it with me the following year when I returned to Aruba. His family goes every year too.
Well, I did of course complete the book and brought a copy to Aruba for him the following year. He was thrilled! His family sent me a photo of him with the book. I think Jesse looks quite happy, don’t you?
If you haven’t met Jesse yet please pick up your copy today and bring little Jesse home to your children to enjoy. They will learn important life lessons that will please parents.
Jesse the Precocious Polar Bear – Jesse teaches children that friends are important and mothers know best.
Blurb:
Jesse is a precocious and very intelligent polar bear. He likes to learn about everything but what polar bears are supposed to know. Jesse has a couple of surprising adventures and learns an important lesson.
I feel pure joy writing for children and hope with God’s help and blessing to continue to write many more fun adventures for children to read and enjoy. I do enjoy writing for MG/PT/YA and 18+ too!
Here are some reviews from Amazon:
Gigi Sedlmayer, Book Excellence Award Finalist winning author of the Talon series5.0 out of 5 stars Jesse, the precocious Polar bear. Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2015Verified PurchaseAnother great and life lesson story by Janice Spina
Jesse the Polar Bear is different from all the others, he is precocious and intelligent as he ask questions about everything. He wants to explore, learn about other animals and make friends. But what animal would like to be friend with a Polar Bear and not be afraid of?
His mother teaches him how to cut holes into the ice to get there food but Jesse didn’t pay attention, he looked around to find a friend.
Suddenly a baby seal flew out of one hole and landed on top of him. Jesse protected him from his mother, who wanted to have him at a meal, and let him go again, to the misery of his mum.
And then an orca swam close to Jesse and the orca wanted to eat Jesse. Well now… I am not telling you everything. You have to buy the book to find out if Jesse will survive the attack of the orca.
It is always good to have friend they can help you. A good deed is what Jesse wanted to do.
Every child will enjoy that beautiful written book with great drawings.

JC5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for curious children Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014Jesse is a baby polar bear who not only likes to ask a lot of questions, but also questions the status quo of all the things around him.
As tough as it is sometimes, his mother lets him express his opinions and just once in a while, lets him get away with certain things that are contrary to a polar bear’s best judgment.
In the end, mama’s patience pays off, as Jesse is saved by a dear friend that he would not have, had he followed traditional rules.
The book teaches little ones (and their parents) that sometimes, not everything has to be the way it has always been. It also reminds us to breathe deeply every time our little one asks us repeatedly why, why, why, why???
