I’m so excited to announce the release of Friends in Fur Coats

Written by Claire Buchwald and Sarah Buchlaw
Illustrated by yours truly! (Rebecca Evans)
Published by The Gryphon Press

In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Noah finds out from his animal friends why fur belongs on animals, not people. Sitting on his bed with his cat Mango and his furry toy animals, Noah asks, “Why do you get to have fur coats, but I don’t?” In his dream that night, Noah’s animals offer a variety of answers. He learns how vital each animal’s coat is to its survival and happiness.
