Stanley Melvin Berenstain (September 29, 1923 – November 26, 2005) and Janice Marian Berenstain (née Grant; July 26, 1923 – February 24, 2012) were American writers and illustrators best known for creating the children's book series The Berenstain Bears.
Until the late ‘80s, Stan and Jan continued their work as magazine cartoonists along with their children's book creations. Their son, Mike, became a children's book author-illustrator in the 1970s and, in the 1980s, joined his parents in their magazine work.
Jan and Stan didn’t know each other when they were little, but they had similar interests and both wanted to go to art school. At age 18 they ended up going to the same school and met each other on the first day in a drawing class taught by a teacher named Ms. Sweeney.

The Berenstain Bears is a children's literature franchise created by Stan and Jan Berenstain and continued by their son, Mike Berenstain. The books feature a family of anthropomorphic grizzly bears who generally learn a moral or safety -related lesson in the course of each story.
Since both sons were big Dr. Seuss fans, Stan and Jan decided to try their hands at creating a children’s book themselves. Their efforts became The Big Honey Hunt, which featured Papa, Mama, and, at that time, Small Bear.
Stan and Jan Berenstain published the first Berenstain Bears book in 1962, and the series has gone on to capture the hearts and minds of children across generations and across the globe.
