Here it is all right to feel muddled and confused. Do you sometimes feel ruffled and befuddled about, well, Things, all sorts of Things? You are among friends here. Mawson and his friends are utterly baffled about nearly everything most of the time. And that's all right.
Mawson is our Ponderer-in-Chief. He enjoys pondering deeply about Baffling Things. Most things are so baffling for him that he then falls into a refreshing nap. He may not see his way clear to any Answers to Big Questions. But he does feel confident that in the end, after all the words are said and all the naps are slept, things will be All Right. Mawson felt that his ponders might help fellow Baffled Ones. Could this be you? He plonks his ponders down into small books that Grownups can find restful and easy to read. And now of course, we are doing podcasts too.
These are the Books by Mawson, who is one of this bright world's few published writer-bears. 'Dreamy Days and Random Naps' will delight everyone who enjoys daydreaming and napping - and isn't that every Baffled One in this whole bright world? It might even be you!' (The images in the Mawson Bear books are so charming and endearing you can't help but smile at them.' Review by Adele on GoodReads.'I enjoyed Dreamy Days and Random Naps for its ability to show the young and old that it is good to use your imagination. Another delightful read from Mawson Bear.' Jolenes Book Corner.)
'She Ran Away From Love', Mawson's second book, features his nervous little friend Frilly who sets off on a quest to find herself. ('A magical little grand tour into the meaning of happiness'. Review on Amazon by Sharrie Williams, author of The Maybelline Story.'I fell in love with this book the instant I started reading it'. Review on Amazon by K. Blade.)
'It's a Bright World to Feel Lost In', Mawson's first book, is about that inexpressibly baffling feeling of being Lost and left behind. The Big Question here is: Can you go on being you when you no longer know who to be you for?' (Reading this book is like receiving a great big hug of reassurance and a huge hot chocolate with fluffy marshmallows.' Lady Bracknell on Amazon.'This little story made me well up. A lovely, poignant story with delightful illustrations.’ Jackie Law, Amazon Top 500 reviewer.)
