Coyote Claus Read by a Ranger

Since it's Christmas Eve, I thought I share this. It's another fun read of a book I illustrated that features my treasured Sonoran Desert flora and fauna in a holiday story that, according to the publisher, "brings the cultural heritage of the Sonoran Desert to life through the familiar genre of Clement C. Moore’s A Visit from St. Nicholas."

(Clement C. Moore is a distant cousin, BTW. But that's a VERY long story for another time.)

Best of the season to all my hereditary cancer advocate and genomic and genetic scientist friends and acquaintances.

(Yup, the cartoon is pretty goofy. But did you know that quirky humor can spark curiosity and interest in science?* And there are actual scientific studies to back it up.) 

*“No kidding.” said the whimsical illustrator who spent a good chunk of his decades-long freelance career illustrating scientific concepts for kids' magazines and books.
