"Snugs The Snow Bear" - a Bear of This Time- Unique, and Magical!
International Polar Bear Day on 27th February is fast approaching - and Snugs, the Snow Bear Hero of my Children's Series, has a message on Climate Change and Green Issues for all my readers!
But Snugs is more than just a global voice for The Environment - he is a bear of his time, unique, and magical.
Those of you who read my posts will know the story of my inspiration for the bear, but I would not have written Snugs' story in quite the same way, were it not for the great writers who inspired me, and to whom I am most grateful!
For, although Snugs is a modern bear, he also borrows from the nostalgia of the past!
From Paddington Bear, who hailed from Peru, Snugs takes on his exotic quality - he comes from Greenland, a place also associated with Santa Claus!
Raymond Briggs', "The Snowman," touched me as an allegory about death, dying and bereavement, and Snugs borrows the idea that this glorious planet we live in may also be dying, too, unless we take steps to address Global Warming.
We should remember that many beautiful wild creatures will face extinction, and there is a sense in which the majestic, magical bear, Snugs, represents a call to action to avert this potential disaster.
Elisabeth Beresford, of "The Wombles" fame, made an enormous impact on us all, when her tales of these delightful creatures put Green Issues at the forefront of our agenda!
I would also like to acknowledge that the humor and vision in Dr Seuss, and the notion of "going places" in a book, resonated with me, and is echoed in the theme of travel being a great educator in "The Snugs Series."
Finally, Snugs is also about a philosophy for life, and some of Snugs' insights, when he is quiet, and alone with his thoughts, reflect the old-fashioned whimsy of Pooh Bear!
So, what makes Snugs unique? Well, not only is he the most lovable, snuggable bear, but he also has magical qualities. Indigenous people believe that snow bears have supernatural powers!
Let's celebrate Snugs, this Snow Bear of our time, on International Polar Bear Day, as a symbol of all that is magical and mystical about this beautiful planet, our children's heritage!

Super-excited to say that my illustrator is now working on the illustrations for Book Two of "The Snugs Series" All I can say, at this stage, is that the book will be a lively one, with scenes set in an iconic city!
The feel of the book is very urban, and Snugs comes into his own as a bear about town!
