Polar Bears in a Climate Crisis
This hybrid scientific-fictional-educational chapter book is about polar bears that practice real-world climate change mitigation strategies in Alaska. They face extreme challenges: starvation, severe weather, and plastic.
Two polar bear cubs and their mother befriend a bachelor bear. With human traits the bears speak, feel, and logically problem solve. Demonstrating tenacity amidst great adversity, deep emotional bonds, and courageous navigation of their world, they draw readers into their lives and climate change action.
Blending a polar bear tale with the brutal struggles of survival in the Arctic, this account provides an engaging scientific look at real-world climate change and resiliency strategies.
Scientific concepts, a glossary, and lesson plans that meet STEM requirements offer tools for teachers. This book accompanies the Climate Change Journal, empowering students and adults to act.
As a mother-daughter writing team, Emily and Katie Creegan collaborated on this story and the lesson plans. Emily contributed the educational and scientific components. Deborah Imhoff, Educational Specialist and Consultant, contributed the structure and content of the lessons plans.

Wounds and Wildflowers
A Young Adult Novel
Three young teens from rough beginnings compete for a coveted life-changing scholarship. With brains, courage, and humor they face the challenges of poverty, homelessness, undocumented immigration, gangs, parental addiction, abandonment, illness, and even death as they struggle to make sense of complex family and social dynamics, and tenaciously hang onto their dreams. After a medicine man and his assistant intervene with magical ancient arrowheads, mysterious events set them on unpredictable trajectories.
Wounds and Wildflowers shines a light on the human side of predicaments that plague at-risk, marginalized teens and troubled families today. Multicultural and diverse, U.S., Nicaraguan, Native American, and Christian belief systems and laws intertwine.
