While organizing some belongings during the pandemic, Graham uncovered drawings of cartoon bears she had sketched when pregnant with her child in the early 1990s. As a side project, she thought it would be fun to make a children's book out of the drawings. Bear Family Adventures is inspired by Sara's real-life adventures on Mount Rainier. The short story tells a fictional tale of a family of bears as they enjoy year-round adventures in Mount Rainier. She hopes to inspire families from around the states to get outside and explore Mount Rainier. "It's a kid's book, but it's also for adults to see the real adventures that somebody can go do," Graham said.
