After a warm welcome we held our book event and had so much fun. Katharine read the story to the children and I got the kids to dance!
In the book, during the Mukluk Ball, Karhu the bear and Millie the do-si-do champion made up a new dance called The Bear Hug Twist. I showed the kids some dance moves and then I had them make up three dance moves to combine into our very own Bear Hug Twist. We twizzled and hopped, some in shoes and others in boots. The kids were great and now they are ready to dance with Karhu the bear.
The Mukluk Store is featured in THE MUKLUK BALL, Karhu the bear wants
his own
pair of Mukluks to wear to the Mukluk Ball. Karhu picks blueberries and
sells them with bear hugs at the blueberry festival to earn money for
his new boots. We were astounded by our own good fortune. Steger's was
very generous
and gave Katharine and I each a pair of boots! I have never had such
nice, comfortable boots. And they were very supportive of our book. What a
wonderful way to begin the long cold season with beautiful, warm
mukluks!
