© 2022, The Berenstain Bears
--Continued from “About the Berenstains--
Shortly after publication of the series moved from Random House to
HarperCollins in 2004, Mike suggested to Stan and Jan that they create a new
sub-line of Berenstain Bears books that reflect spiritual themes while
continuing to publish their traditional storybooks. They co-created the first
four titles in the ongoing Living Lights series released by the HarperCollins
publishing group, Zondervan, in 2008.
After a long illness, Stan passed away in November 2005, at the age of eighty-
two. Jan died in February 2012, at the age of eighty-eight. Mike continues to
write and illustrate Berenstain Bears books on all sorts of subjects--everything
from going for a ride on the train to the golden rule. He lives and works in the
rolling countryside of Eastern Pennsylvania--a place that looks very much like
Berenstain Bear Country.
