The Riddle of John the Little

Rose Christianson is inspired by her love of playing with words, rhymes, and rhythms. Having spent time living in the outback of Alaska, Rose drew from her outdoor experiences to create a story where a human interacts with an Alaskan Grizzly, and it ends happily for both. She hopes the story inspires young readers (and their parents) that we humans are living and sharing our precious environment with the wildlife who existed there before us.

 In her free time, Rose enjoys watercolor painting, poetry, and cooking. Spending time with her five grandchildren—all of whom were the inspiration for this author’s first published book—keeps her energized.
