We created the Beararms McKenize series to bring families together through the creativity we have in each of us. The characters contained in the books are thoughtful creations, each with a unique message and story of their own, much like us humans! Some are artists, some are scientists, all are creators of some kind. We want to provide your family with a fun, educational series that delves into the psychology of everyday life and our relationships as we grow together. 

 

We hope to continue to expand the universe of the Kingdom in the Sky for many years to come!
