Our Mission
Lima Bear® Press has a very straightforward mission: to publish children’s stories that are, engaging, imaginative, and humorous while each carries an important life message such as tolerance, honesty, forgiveness, courage, friendship, and teamwork.
Books
Engaging, imaginative humorous stories delight children ages 3-8 while delivering a valuable life lesson in each. Readers discover ‘friends’ in the characters and follow them from story to story anticipating what comes next! Extend the Learning and Activity sections are very popular with parents and teachers. Five books now in the Lima Bear Stories series with seven more to come. See our books!
Parents
Check out the many “Parenting Tips” from the authors who have children and grandchildren of their own. Reading as a holiday activity • Talking with your children about bullying • Reading with and not to your child • Good readers make Good Writers. Explore the many articles and activates designed for you to use with your children. And then share your own experiences with others. See our Parents page!
Kids
Coloring sheets, word searches, mazes, and activities keep the fun and learning going! For home and classroom, they expand the story and the message of each one. Explore what is here and come back often as we add more each month. And look for opportunities to enter contests and share your activity on Facebook and Pinterest! See our Kids page!
Teachers
Activities abound for classroom fun. Extend the Learning sections of each book bring creative ways to bring the books alive and allow children to interact with the characters and messages. Authors on each coast speak frequently in schools through assemblies, classrooms and at school book fairs. Explore what might be possible for your school. See our Teachers page!
