Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG! He likes to climb trees, eat snacks, and sleep. The day is full of possibility as Reg emerges from his winter slumber, but as we all know, life is full of challenges. Although Reg is desperate to get to his beloved creek, a few obstacles stand in the way. How will Reg react to the challenges of the day that throw him off kilter? Think wise thoughts and feel your feelings, his older sister Co-co reminds him.
“And so, he does.”
Pownal Street Press is delighted to announce this title being released on August 1st, 2023. Pre-sales have already begun on Lori’s author website. Stay tuned for more updates on Lori’s August book launch on Prince Edward Island!
“What a priceless gem! This book, beautifully illustrated by Emma Martin,
is a well-researched and resourced guide that provides children valuable
tools in naming, understanding, and regulating their emotions. Ms. Gard
describes how to apply these regulating strategies in an easy to understand,
playful, and absolutely delightful story. Reg the black bear is a loveable
character and I look forward to future instalments of his adventures!”
