Eli the Bipolar Bear
Sharon Bracken is a native of Norfolk, Virginia. She graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.S. in Child Development. For over 20 years, she has worked as a child development specialist. Because there were no resources available for her son, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of just nine, she wrote the story, Eli the Bipolar Bear. Joshua Nash is a graphic artist in Roseville, CA. He enjoys drawing and making things up. In addition to his own work, he has worked on many exciting projects with clients such as Scholastic, Child Heroes Publishing and Hooked on Phonics. When he is not drawing, he enjoys eating Chinese take-out, and renting movies with his wife, cat and dog.
