Your patrons may be interested in this program about wolves, since we
have many wolves in Upper Michigan.? I have no affiliation with Leokadia
George, I'm just passing it on to you in case you have interest in her
doing a program on Zoom.

In 2016, the world fell in love with Trumpet, a Mexican Gray Wolf pup
whose miraculous birth at the Wolf Conservation Center in New York
captured global attention. Now, Trumpet's journey is inspiring kids
everywhere with a four-book series by _author Leokadia George_
<https://www.amazon.com/stores/Leokadia-George/author/B0D3VN8YC3?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true<https://www.amazon.com/stores/Leokadia-George/author/B0D3VN8YC3?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true>>.
The wolf that inspired her story is in New York-- but certainly has an
audience outside of NY!

 ?Leokadia George, a Wolf Center volunteer and mental health therapist,
was inspired by Trumpet?s story and wrote a fun and educational book
series to help kids learn about conservation. On zoom with your patrons,
George can discuss:

  *

    Her_4__th__book in the Trump the Miracle Wolf Pup series_
    <https://www.amazon.com/Trumpet-Miracle-Wolf-Pup-Becomes/dp/196197858X<https://www.amazon.com/Trumpet-Miracle-Wolf-Pup-Becomes/dp/196197858X>>,
    titled, "Trumpet Becomes a Mom?

  *

    The importance of saving endangered species

  *

    Trumpet?s backstory including courting behavior, the pup cross
    foster program, and Trumpet?s tendency to drag deer carcasses into
    the den.

  *

    Plus, how she donates 50% back to the Wolf Center

If interested, please contact?Leokadia George
<leokadiageorge.books at gmail.com> directly or her publicist Dana Dean
