My Friend Moose’r McDan
Written by Sky Danley
Illustrated by Alli Coate
Publisher’s Synopsis: An aggressive hunter bear meets a gentle moose who is looking for a new friend. The moose is so friendly that the bear decides to drop his gun and stop hunting altogether. Instead, the bear learns that it’s more fun to just hang out with a new friend, playing games and enjoying nature. However, after the fall colors change, it’s time for the bear to go back home. The gentle moose is sad because he lost his play friend, so he is again looking for a new one. He invites whoever is reading the book to become his new friend.

About the Author
SKY DANLEY was born in the quintessential midwestern town of Peoria, Illinois — a town so ordinary that Hollywood producers famously ask, “but how will it play in Peoria?”
During his childhood, Sky’s father worked as a computer programmer at the company that built NASA‘s Onboard Apollo Guidance Computer, a technological marvel that enabled man‘s dream to land on the moon.
Watching this engineering feat as a child motivated Sky to a lifelong passion for the dreams of aviation and the ideals of innovation. Sky even attempted, with his childhood friends at the time, to build a rocket-propelled flying bicycle.
Following this passion, Sky attended Purdue University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, majoring in aerodynamics and minoring in rocket propulsion.
After completing a GE-NASA contract for the computer modeling of airflow, Sky entered and served as a commissioned officer in the United States Air Force, earning his wings as a USAF Pilot.
Sky later flew as a Captain for the legendary Trans World Airlines (TWA), an airline once owned by the famed aviation innovator Howard Hughes, whose Hollywood connections forever christened TWA, “The Airline of the Stars.”
Also drawn to the Stars, Sky now dreamed of modeling innovative visual stories for the film industry, and with that goal, he enrolled at Harvard University, earning a Master’s Degree in Film and Studio Arts, concentrating on visual story and writing his thesis at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, where he cataloged and documented the unique story creation processes of Walt’s original 1930s story department, which emphasized the visual over the dialogue.
Sky continues this visual story interest today, writing two award-winning children’s picture books and currently producing a 16-minute animated cartoon about an inventor moose who must overcome adversity to build a flying bicycle, a cartoon Sky hopes will encourage today’s children to become tomorrow’s innovators, creating a future where dreams can soar…

I’m excited to win this because six little ones still love picture books and animals as the main characters in those books. It will help teach them about friendships which is valuable to even adults.
It looks like an adorable story and a character we would fall in love with!
This would make a wonderful gift for the Ronald McDonald House. They give a stuffed “friend” to each child who stays there, and a moose with a book would be especially nice for the child and her family members, giving them something to do while they spend time at the hospital.
This would be a wonderful gift to share with my 2 youngest grandsons. Especially the youngest since he wants to be a Vet when older.Thank you Bianca for this exciting giveaway chancchance.
I volunteer at our local library which has a special mission to encourage reading for children and their families. I love finding new stories to share.

My Grand kids are just learning how to read and are so excited about books and recognizing a few words. They would enjoy this book.
This sounds like a fun book for my great nephew. He lives in Alaska and they see moose often. Sometimes the moose are in their front yard.
I was born in Canada, so I of course I love mooses! I like the message in this book about losing a friend and gaining a new one. I’ve had to cope with this first hand. This is a great book for my daughters.
You can never have enough books!
I would love to win this because I have a sweet little boy who would enjoy having grandma read this book while he hugs the moose. He would enjoy this story which sounds great!
My daughter would just love this!What a wonderful book!
The grandkids would love to read the book with the fun moose.
I am excited to win this prize because the book looks like something we will really enjoy.
Also, I am a book blogger and would love to review this book on my blog.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Dear Amie,

Good luck!
