What We Care About

Positive reading choices for young ones. We want reading to be fun. We hope to create timeless books that inspire and entertain.

We have a strong sense of community and believe in putting in the work to make the world a better place. We started a volunteer Earth Day Cleanup in our town over a decade ago - happily attended by volunteers of all ages each April 22nd.  (J Bean has a degree in Environmental Science with a triple major in Chemistry, Biology and Geology, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Maine.) 

We do what we can to improve the health of our environment and our neighbors. We both volunteer with other social programs involving literacy and increasing awareness of the harmful effects of drugs. 

Young people are smart. They just need "The Truth About Drugs" so they can make informed decisions. 

We appreciate our neighbors here and around the planet. 

We garden, I make soap and yogurt and kefir. 

We like to get our hands dirty and make a difference.

Adventure

Though we are reading addicts, we love being outside, both at our former home on beautiful Cape Cod and our current location in the breathtaking mountains and lakes region of western Maine.

 We are passionate adventurers. 

In college I took flying lessons and had a few solo flights. We hike, we swim, we boat. 

During Maine winters we snowshoe. 

We love the animals that visit us. Life is good, especially when you can explore outdoors. 

(Note: Chris has a degree in the School of Life, graduating with distinction. He is the smart one, actually.)
