Michael Cera, “Juno,” Two Ballerinas & an Aspirational Moose

Publishing comes with a lot of heartbreak and disappointment — rejection is the core experience for even “successful” authors — but I still cling to the pleasures of making things. Of being inspired, of creating new books or poems or art. The worst day is pub day, when hopes and dreams are dashed against the rocks of indifference.

Anyway, this little book about an aspirational moose won’t be out until August, 2025.  I sent a photo of Michael Cera from “Juno” to my editor, describing how I saw Moose. And in this rare case, both my editor and illustrator listened and cared and worked to honor my silly vision.

The actor Michael Cera and my moose. It’s a small thing but it delights me.

 

NOTE: This is not the official or “final” cover. But I imagine it’s close. 

This is the second story from my “. . . And a Moose!” Series for very young readers. Available in paperback, cheap.
