Bowling Green Elementary School students were treated to a special presentation given by Kathleen Bart, author of “A Tale of Two Teddies: Celebrating the History of the Teddy Bear.” Ms. Bart spoke about the history of the teddy bear, while sharing the many interesting facts about how the teddy bear became a worldwide icon. In addition, the students were introduced to Ms. Bart’s own “American-style” teddy bear that accompanies her on all school trips.
While noting that imagination is her most important writing tool, Ms. Bart described the writing process and the additional tools that she utilized for her research in her other published books. “I use my imagination to draw and write about the things I like most,” she stated.
