Soul mate of a moose? In Glasnos the Whimsical Moose, Tjaakje C. Heidema makes a compelling case for her identification with the gangly loner in letters to her four-year-old nephew, B.J.
In classic fantasy style, Tjaakje weaves tales of wisdom, humor, mischief and love that delight children and adults alike.
Watch Glasnos lead a sandcastle-building project on a Maine beach. Or, “T.J., teach me to swim the backstroke “
What’s a moose doing in Arizona leading a Santa sleigh Oh, he’s Randolph the Red-nosed Moose
In another letter to B.J., Glasnos leaves the path near Superstition Mountains to “shake the dew off his lily.” He gets ensnared by a Teddy Bear Cholla and looks like he’s dancing with it
In each letter, T.J. creates loving connection with her nephew and shares feelings of anxiety, discouragement and love in a way that helps B.J.–and all her readers–deal in positive ways with their own emotions.
Illustrations by Bailey Hodges highlight hilarious scenes. A coloring book is included.
A perfect gift to stir imagination, humor and wisdom. This book will be enjoyed by eight-twelve year-olds, or as read to children aged four+.
