Product Description
Where do Petoskey stones come from? Perhaps the answer lies in the discovery that Mother Bear has been leaving her tears all over the beaches of Lake Michigan for hundreds of years. Walk the shores of Lake Michigan with Grandpa and his grandchildren on their rock-hunting expedition, in search of the great Petoskey stone. Grandpa passes on the age old Ojibwe Sleeping Bear legend, and reveals the untold story of the Tears of Mother Bear. So . . .take a stroll on the beach and see if you can find any tears of Mother Bear.

Tears of Mother Bear April 1, 2007
My 7 year old loved this story so much that she wants to canoe to the 2 islands mentioned. She looks forward to running down the sand dune and taking a personal look. When a book can inspire a child to want to see for herself, this is grand writing. We love Anne Margaret Lewis!

Carry forward the tradition of summer walks on the beach with Grandpa, collecting rocks and stories. This book is charming, well illustrated and sure to be a favorite in many homes, especially those with memories of the Great Lakes shoreline.

While browsing through childrens' picture books when visiting the Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, MI, the title and illustrations of Tears of Mother Bear immediately caught my attention. As I began to read the book I was mesmerized. Anyone who has ever spent time with family during the summer at the beach - looking for special rocks and stones on the shore - will love this book! Remember finding those stones that were great for "skipping" and those that were "keepers"? I couldn't wait to get back home to search the net for the Petoskey Stones this book introduced to me. What a wonderful tale!
