Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 215 - 8.31.16

Thank you again Mr. President, for your recent National Monument designations in Maine and Hawaii. And thank you doubly to the awesome second graders at John Sevier Elementary in Maryville, TN for helping me out and for doing such great research on the polar bears and their Arctic lives! 45 ADDITIONAL Polar Bear Post Cards headed your way Mr. President! Keep that in mind as you consider a monument status for the 1002 :) 


PS The John Sevier students even practiced their bear drawing before starting their first post cards!

A bit of "back to school" juxtaposition... or some sort of color commentary on the size of modern day backpacks. The choice is yours :)

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 212 - 8.26.16

It's National Dog Day at the Polar Bear Post Card Project -- and thusly the Alaskan Husky, working dog of the far Arctic north, makes an appearance with the requisite bear! Like the polar bear, these animals are uniquely suited to their environment and the working conditions of Arctic living. Congratulations and 'thank you' to President Obama for his two recent national monument designations in Maine and Hawaii. We hope indeed that the table is set for the 1002 and a similar designation later this fall #WeAreTheArctic #NationalDogDay

Always exciting to see the final cover come together on a new project! And in this case, my first board book with the good folks at Sasquatch's Little Bigfoot imprint. On sale in February 2017!

Guardians of the Arctic. Resolved. Defiant. And in steadfast opposition to the changes they don't fully comprehend.

Happy 100th birthday to the National Park Service! And the polar bear rangers are ready to go for any further expansions or additions to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska's coastal plain.

A fitting ode - I hope - to the final week before starting school!
