  1. What a cute and fascinating idea, a bear making donuts in the woods. I really want to see what you did with this idea and how. Can't wait to read your book. Great post, Carrie!

  2. A friend already has this book and she read it to our writers group during our last zoom meeting. It is adorable. Congratulations and happy book birthday!
