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.

FYI 10/22/25 books of wonder NYC not showing on their calendar yet & while comic con is more convenient location it is a ticketed $$ event so NG.

Pretty Please,
Patrick come visit us in Arizona! Your comics help me start my day!!
I love big Mutts & I cannot lie!!!
As a kid, my Dad was always bringing home stray dogs! My Mom pretended to be annoyed!
Over the years, My kids & I have been blessed to have been loved by & learned from 9 amazing girl dogs! (all rescues) So many fun stories, happy, sad, challenging memories. In fact, my daughter takes after her Papa!

Exactly, the November 12 book tour stop is in Encinitas, CA, in northern San Diego County, Check with Warwick’s, a bookstore in La Jolla that hosts authors. We’re happy this will be one of Patrick’s stops!

I moved upstate New York because I didn’t have enough room for my 26 rescues. 2 dogs, 24 cats. I lived in Keansburg around the corner from the beautiful bay. Took the dogs every morning. Then we had to move. NOBODY leaves the Jersey shore willingly. It’s been 15 years and my heart hurts that I’m not near the ocean. It’s in our blood. If you ever come way the hell upstate near Ithaca, please bring a bag of sand with some seashells. Love, Maureen, Steve, Brady (Nils Lofgrin paid for his transport from Texas death row! I say Brady is an honorary member of the E Street Band!) Shane, Scooter, Saiorse, Harry, and Yankee Turtle, a re-home from the Bronx. 🐾🐢♥️

The November 12th date should read Encinitas vs. Encitos.
