Dalmartian: A Mars Rover’s Story
by Lucy Ruth Cummins (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: A visitor from outer space comes to Stephen’s yard one night. It may look like a Dalmatian, but it certainly doesn’t act like one. At first, Stephen and the visitor get off on the wrong paw. They quibble over kibble, debate sleeping arrangements, and must abandon earth dogs’ approach to bathroom breaks altogether to keep the peace. Is a shared love of bacon a strong enough foundation for this ordinary earth boy and extraordinary out-of-this-world canine to learn to live in harmony?

Booktalk: Nine-year-old besties Nour and August stumble upon the perfect place for their dream hideaway–a hidden garden full of majestic trees.

Excited to build a tree house, they design blueprints, research plant care, and collect necessary tools and materials. What was intended to be a secret hideaway becomes the perfect place for a once-hidden garden to come to life for their families to celebrate a very important birthday . . . and a long-lost friendship.

Through creativity, hard work, and a bit of mischief, the two friends realize their dreams, bring people together, and create an unforgettable summer.
