The Author

Joann Slead has a remarkable life. As a child she grew up on a farm in Kansas with a menagerie of farm animals. Riding the farm pigs thinking they were bucking broncos often got her and her brother into some rather sticky muddy situations, much to their mother’s disapproval.

After high school Joann attended Kansas State University (KSU) and following on from there she up sticks to the Golden State of California, where she obtained a Master of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California (USC) in Los Angeles. During her time at USC, she undertook the role of Undergraduate Political Advisor and was Adjunct Faculty in both Political Science and Public Administration. It was at this time in her life that she turned to Christianity as a way of life.

Progressing on from USC, Joann took a job as a relief worker at World Vision International, a large non-profit relief and development organisation. During her time with them she criss-crossed the world undertaking various projects to enrich lives of the underprivileged and disadvantaged, what she saw and witnessed on those missions had a profound impact on the rest of her life.

In 1966 Joann set up a sole proprietorship business providing services to non-profit organisations. Her portfolio includes countless technical documents for her clients, including major contributions to several books, designs and teaching of master’s degree classes on essential aspects of relief and development programs. Over the years she has served as speaker at several other non-profit organisations and churches.

Now Joann has elected to spend more time pursuing the things she enjoys most, such as writing Children’s books, telling stories and painting, particularly water colour sketches to which she best describes herself as still ‘A Novice.’ 

So, let’s have a look at her book.

The Book

The Secret Life of Bears

By depicting Jesus in this book as the most lovey-dovey Papa Bear ever, Jesus’ love is shown in such a way that very young children relate easily to understanding that he is there for them no matter what their circumstances are. Jesus does not differentiate between social classes, creed, gender or background. A child is a child with a soul and that’s more important to Jesus above and beyond anything else.

What Joann Slead wants to do in this book is tickle your child’s heart as they learn all the things Papa Bear does for Baby Bear. It’s a sweet, enchanting book for 2–5-year-olds to enjoy reading or looking at as a bedtime read with a parent, grandparent or caring adult. The Illustrations are bright and vivid but relatable, creatively portrayed by Mohammed Daamouche giving colourful imagery in support of Joann’s simple but effective message, that being Jesus loves you, for who you are not what you are.
