Michigan has an “officially recognized” state book: The Legend of the Sleeping Bear by Kathy-Jo Wargin and Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen (Sleeping Bear Press, 1998). On May 7, 1998, the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution No. 286 “commemorating The Legend of the Sleeping Bear as the State of Michigan’s official children’s book.” This is a tribute to an outstanding children’s book. Since 1955 (adoption of the White Pine as the official state tree), official state symbols have been created through an act passed by both Michigan’s Senate and House of Representatives and signed into law by the Governor. The book is not an official state symbol.
