Maccabee & Me

My name’s Bernie. It's not a name I would have chosen for an eighty-five-pound guard dog, but it was the one given to me by my family. I was named after Great-grandpa Bernie Cantrell. He built Southcliff ranch over seven hundred dog years ago.

I have a tale about a wild stallion named Maccabee, a “ghost” panther, and a boy named Miles who lives at Southcliff. It’s funny how a whirling lariat brought change to Southcliff Ranch. And how, because of Maccabee, friendships developed that would last as long as forever. And that’s a long time.

Bernie’s story blends adventure with meaningful life lessons, showing how young people grow when they care for animals and each other. Teachers will appreciate how naturally the book reinforces leadership, problem‑solving, and compassion... qualities that help students thrive in school and in life.

Clover Gets Lost

Clover was born under a January “bear moon.” As the bear cub grew, he was anxious to explore the world outside. Momma Bear told her young cub to be patient because Spring would come soon. Then, it would be time to go out. When wildflowers bloomed, Momma Bear showed Clover the ways of the mountain bear. Because of Clover’s impatience, it was hard for him to listen and keep his little claws out of trouble!

When Clover chased a fox into the woods and became lost, he wondered if he had listened well enough to his Momma to find his way home. He sure hoped so!

Clover’s adventure mirrors the developmental path children take as they learn patience, resilience, and confidence. Teachers will appreciate how the story uses the beauty of the natural world to show that growing up takes time — and that with guidance and experience, children can find their way forward with courage.
