‘Spooner the Bear’ children’s author at Browsers Corner Bookstore Saturday

Jake Willers was working on a video project to educate people about interacting with urban bears at the same time he was raising his little boy, Finn. “I was reading him a bunch of kids’ books,” Willers recalls. “And I found I was able to recite five or six of them just by heart because I had read them so many times.”That’s when he got the idea: He’d write a children’s book to get the message out about protecting bears in an urban environment. &ldq
