From publicity materials, in The Woman who Married a Bear (Simply Read, 2008; republished 2015), "an arrogant young girl who insults the bears must face the consequences: punishment from the bears themselves. Detailed watercolor illustrations convey the spectacular natural beauty of the Pacific West Coast, from its misty seashores to its wildflower- filled meadows and icy mountain peaks. Both story and pictures teach children the importance of respecting and honoring nature and animals."

Elizabeth James lives in Vancouver and loves the sea.
