Mike Berenstain

Michael Berenstain is an author and illustrator of children�s books. He is the son of Stan and Jan Berenstain, creators of the popular Berenstain Bears series of picture books. Like Stan and Jan before him, Mike draws on his own experiences as a parent (and, now, grandparent) to inspire the family themes he writes about�including �Gifts of the Spirit�, a new line of faith-based books featuring the Berenstain Bears. He lives and works in the rolling countryside of Eastern Pennsylvania�a place that looks very much like Berenstain Bear Country.
