Commentary from
the Back Cover
While the author
Jayne was visiting friends in Anchorage Alaska, the family’s
eight year old daughter complained about taking a trip to see
the city sights. To coax the little girl, Jayne offered to tell
a story during the trip. At the very first corner, “Annie,” the
heroine of our story said “Auntie Jayne, I want my story now,
please! The story of “Annie and The Only One Problem Bear”
developed over the course of the tour of Anchorage. Since the
reception by the children and the adults in the car was
enthusiastic, Jayne decided to write down the tale. Later she
asked her mother Betty to do the illustrations. Annie and The
Only One Problem Bear is a delightful tale designed to
appeal to a child’s sense of humor and whimsy. While
entertaining, it is also educational, teaching children that
when a problem arises, it can be solved and that the solution
can come from THEM!

One Problem Bear" came about by the chance telling of a story,
it reflects her philosopy that children can develop creativity
and problem solving skills with the right encouragement.
