Ever wanted to meet Patrick in person? We have great news for our friends in New Jersey, New York, and California (and the surrounding areas)!

This fall and winter, Patrick will be visiting select bookstores, festivals, and other special places to celebrate the release of The Gift of Everything and The Gift of Nothing Anniversary Edition. If you're able, we'd love for you to join us at one of these gatherings.

About the Books

The Gift of Everything is a heartwarming MUTTS picture book that explores the theme that “everything is a gift.” Mooch the cat searches for a perfect gift for his special friend Earl. But what is perfect? The book celebrates the beauty in the world — from animals and trees to friendship and quiet moments. Join Mooch as he sees the world around him with a fresh feeling of gratitude and discovers that life itself is full of gifts.

The Gift of Nothing (soon available in a special 20th anniversary edition!) is a NYT bestselling picture book about the importance of friendship and presence. It tells the story of Mooch the cat, who decides the most meaningful gift for his friend Earl is “nothing” — nothing, that is, except the gift of friendship and presence.

Used Mutts in my classroom for years, former students still recall their joy! Come to Springville outside of Buffalo, we have a lovely coffeehouse/arts center that would be perfect for a “Patrick visit”! I also work with two cat shelters that Mooch would be proud of!
