The Pawsmonauts: Space Fur All

'Zootopia' meets 'For All Mankind' in this space exploration adventure featuring brave animal explorers. “The Pawsmonauts: Space Fur All” opens with a cat and dog astronaut team having to work through challenges of both science and personalities when they encounter an unusual stowaway. Rooted in the spirit of the Space Race and real-world spaceflight, it pairs historical nods with a growing cast of charming animal characters from around the world. With a backdrop involving a decades long secret space program, the story includes a bit of intrigue like 'Carmen San Diego'. A fit for young readers who love animals, adventure, and science.

My Why:

Ever since kindergarten, I’ve had a fascination with space. When we were all tasked with making construction paper astronauts, I insisted he needed a backpack for air and so mine got to be displayed like a mobile.

As a unabashed sci-fi nerd, I've held a deep seeded optimism in the way visions of space can bridge people together and how the biggest challenges can bring out the best in people. As a former Student Ambassador, world traveler, and pet lover, combining these interests into an original story was a natural instinct.

As a father, I hope to inspire the next generation of curious minds to connect with people different from themselves, learn to cooperate, and reach for the stars.
