. .

Résumé :
Bj?rnen Tor er en liten teddybj?rn med et stort hjerte, som liker ? oppleve noe nytt, spise gulr?tter og synge. Han bor sammen med mennesket sitt p? Vestlandet, n?r fjell og fjorder. Det er skrevet flere barneb?ker om opplevelsene hans, med flotte fotografier og rundt 1000 ord. Hver bok inneholder en sang han har lagd mens i l?pet av historien som fortelles. I fortellingene om han s? baker han, dyrker gr?nnsaker, fisker, reiser, leker, feirer jul, st?r p? ski og er sammen med venner. Han f?r lov til ? pr?ve nye ting og gj?re sine egne feil. Alltid med kj?rlig veiledning fra mennesket sitt, som bidrar med kreative svar og forklaringer p? livet og det de opplever. I denne boken m?ter vi Bj?rnen Tor mens han er ute og plukker l?vetann. Plutselig skjer det noe som gir han en ide: Han vil lage en gulrot! Heldigvis sier mennesket ?ja?, og snart kan han sette i gang. Han bygger gulrotseng, s?r fr?, og passer p? plantene i mange uker. ?Gulrot-sangen? blir til mens han holder p?, og den hjelper nok plantene til ? vokse. I alle fall f?r han mer enn en gulrot til slutt. Barn i alle aldre vil fryde seg over denne fortellingen om p?gangsmot, naturens undre og livets enkle gleder.

Biographie:
Lin-Marita Sandvik is the creator of Tor the Bear and all the text, photos and music which makes up the Tor the Bear - series. She is a teacher, mother of two and married, living in the Western part of Norway. Reading, writing, music and visual arts are activities she has enjoyed and nurtured from an early age. After completing the compulsory education in Norway she studied music for a couple of years, then enjoyed an apprenticeship as a photographer for six months. Instead of becoming a professional photographer she decided to have an academic education, and earned a master's degree in sociology a few years later. Life as a mother of two made her want to become a teacher, so she studied pedagogy, mathematics and music, and obtained a bachelor's degree in English. When her father died of cancer in 2014 she got quite sentimental about the loss of his spirit and personality from her and the family's lives. This was when Tor the Bear was born as an idea. A few months later he was born as a knitted teddy bear, who has inherited much of her father's spirit, courage and love of live. Creating the stories, taking the photographs, writing the texts, composing and recording the songs and designing the books gives Lin-Marita energy and inspiration. She hopes that the books about Tor the Bear, and his songs found on Youtube, will entertain and inspire readers of all ages.
