Author Description

In the great north woods, where the spruce trees stand tall, lives Gary-a moose who doesn't "moose" like other moose. He doesn't splash in ponds or rub his antlers on trees. Instead, Gary climbs. High among the branches, he feels at peace where the forest meets the sky. While the other animals watch in quiet wonder, the forest slowly learns to make room for Gary's way of being. Because sometimes belonging isn't about changing who you are-it's about a world learning to make space for you. The Tree Moose is a poetic picture book that celebrates presence, peace, and the quiet strength of living authentically. Through lyrical rhyme and softly textured illustrations, the story offers readers a calm and reflective journey into a woodland world filled with empathy and understanding. Perfect for ages 4-10, classrooms, and bedtime reading, The Tree Moose invites children and adults alike to slow down, breathe, and see that there's no one right way to "moose." A tender, timeless story about difference, stillness, and the beauty of simply being yourself.
