Author - Robert James Challenger

“Challenger’s prose bears a deliberate resemblance to First Nations oral traditions: humans and nature interact freely, and both are capable of folly, repentance, and wisdom …” —Steve Pitt, Canadian Book Review Annual

This sixth installment in Jim Challenger’s popular series of contemporary fables presents another set of practical life lessons in a beautifully illustrated, easy-to-read framework. In Grizzly’s Home, he continues the theme introduced in his 2004 book, Nature’s Circle, addressing more issues challenging today’s school-aged children, including single-parent families, safety, leadership, appearance, jealousy and problem-solving. An exceptional resource for teachers and parents, Challenger’s stories contain simple messages, family-oriented thoughts and a deep respect for nature. Their uplifting wisdom and beauty will leave a long-lasting impact on readers young and old.

JIM CHALLENGER is an accomplished artist and stone carver as well as a writer. He has spent his life absorbing all the stories that the Northwest Coast has to offer, and he bases his writing style on the oral storytelling traditions of past generations. He lives in Victoria, B.C.
