Inspired by Pillars of the NFL: Papa Bear Book for Kids

As a publisher if you are doing things right, every book you produce has some connection to others you've done. Pillars of the NFL is certainly a book that I love as much as a book reader as a publisher. Written by Patrick McCaskey, Pillars is a classic that should be in every football fan's library. A crazy amount of research went into Pillars and it was not easy, although quire rewarding.  

In Patrick McCaskey's Sports and Faith Series, he also talked about some NFL Pillars in those books. And now we are producing a new series for middle grades and older that we are calling our Winning Ways Series. Papa Bear and the Chicago Bears' Winning Ways takes things from our Sports and Faith Series and the Pillars of the NFL. 

PAPA BEAR AND THE CHICAGO BEARS' WINNING WAYS reviews the exciting story of George Halas and his dynamic role in professional football. Halas who was present in the first days of the National Football League (NFL) all the way into the modern age of football. Author Patrick McCaskey, a Chicago Bears Vice President and Director, is a grandson of Papa Bear George Halas. McCaskey highlights his grandfather's life with key events from the 20th century. McCaskey follows Halas as a student, athlete, soldier, coach, team owner—a man of commerce and community. Halas’s 20th century path is laid out before readers. PAPA BEAR AND THE CHICAGO BEARS' WINNING WAYS includes some of the coach’s important words of wisdom that young people need today to achieve success. These “winning ways” are used in exercises that were originally devised by Ben Franklin that readers will find helpful and interesting. A glossary, special exercises, a quiz and discussion questions help readers expand their interest and learning experiences. Readers are taken on a short journey through history that helps them expand their understanding of our world. The book introduces Halas quotes and the methods of one of America’s founding fathers and original self-help gurus, Ben Franklin.
