K.D. Keenan is the author of a fantasy trilogy comprised of "The Obsidian Mirror," "Fire in the Ocean," and "Lords of the Night," published by Diversion Books, New York City. "I Am Not a Bear" began as a project for a children's literature class in college. Many years later, Keenan rewrote and re-illustrated the story for her grandchildren. Then the idea occurred to her of republishing it as a bilingual English-Spanish book and donating the proceeds to help families at the border. She partnered with the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) to bring this vision to reality. Your purchase of this book will help NNIRR to fight injustice and help immigrant families to build a better life.
