About the Author

Karma Wilson was an only child who grew up in Idaho and developed a love of reading at an early age. She was reading a novel a day by the age of eleven. Karma never considered a writing career until she and her husband used a tax refund to buy a computer. Determined to make the machine pay for show more itself, Karma learned to type and decided to try her hand at writing. After countless rejections, Bear Snores On was released in 2002 and made it on both The New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists for children's books. Since then, she has had more than 30 other books accepted for publication. Her title Bear Says Thanks made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Based on Psalm 118:24, I Will Rejoice brings Scripture to a child's level of understanding. Whether it be a good morning kiss, lunch shared with a teddy bear, a cozy lap, or time with the family, children will easily grasp the concept of rejoicing with the meaningful things that make up their day.

When springtime comes, in his warm winter den a bear wakes up very hungry and thin! Bear comes out of hibernation and he's VERY hungry.
He eats everything in sight--but he still wants more! Bear's friends finally help him satisfy his HUGE hunger by throwing him a surprise birthday party. Bear's adventures (like being too fat to fit through the doorway) will entertain and delight young readers.
