Hello, I am using the picture Heidi to talk to a 5th grade class and I can not find any information about the photo or what it is about. Is there anywhere for me to get a description of what you intended when you painted it?

My question is did the actual bear that this story was written about come to be captured in real life less than three miles from home in the Black Forest where he was originally captured?

I work in a library and first came to know the story of Grusha the Bear from this wonderful book. Is it true that it is based on an actual Russian Circus bear that did escape riding his bike only to be captures less than three miles from where he was captured? I can'y find a way to contact the author , but if true, it seems to beg for the adult version to be written as a short story.......how sad the bear was not allowed to return to the forest he so loved in the REAL WORLD. Don't get me wrong , I still love and hold dear the children's version and lovely illustrations that go with it, for here is the inspiration and hope for tomorrow of a better world for all.

I went to the American Academy of Art after I graduted High School and for a while worked for some commercial art studios. Now in this stage of my life I am collecting art. I have one of your signed and numbered prints and I don't know the name of it. It has the cat in pen and ink and the orange tree and the bird cage with a white framed window in the background. Would you be able to tell me what year this is from, the value of the litho and the title. Thank you for all your wonderful art. I appreciate your reply. Thank you, Betty Cohen

I am a committee member for the Parent Teacher Organization for the Cattaraugus Little Valley Central School with the charge to arrange for artists/authors to visit our schools for the 2007-2008 school term. The school district is approximately one hour south of Buffalo. I am curious to know if you would consider returning to the Buffalo area for such a visit and what the fees might be for such an event. I see that you will be at Talking Leaves this weekend (10/2007).......Our Parent's As Reading Partners Theme this year is fables so your new book would be perfect! Please consider this request and I look forward to your reply!
