Happy (American) Thanksgiving, everyone! Check out what two AMAZING librarians just sent my way (MASSIVE thank you to Mary and Steph)!!! A 3D sculpt of Chip, Fergus, and Bloop, as well as a Kohl's Cares Elmore Plushie/book combos (because no Kohls up here).
How cool is THIS?! Elmore the Christmas Moose has been selected for the Kohl's Cares program! For $9.99 you can get this amazing Elmore plushie and a small sized copy of the first Elmore book! It's amazing! Plus, 100% of the net profits go to support children's initiatives world wide.
It's a School Library Journal star for ELMORE AND THE BIG CHRISTMAS RESCUE written by Dev Petty (@devpetty.bsky.social) and illustrated by Mike Boldt (@mikeboldt.bsky.social)! 🌟 “Recommended for story hours revolving around Christmas.” 🌟 Read the full review here @jenrofe.bsky.social

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
BAKE A CAKE is Out TODAY! Book 2 of my CAN DO book series is now available! Check it out and see what they (and YOU) CAN DO! Available where books are found!
