Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

BAKE A CAKE is Out TODAY! Book 2 of my CAN DO book series is now available! Check it out and see what they (and YOU) CAN DO! Available where books are found!

The wait is almost over!!! Can Do Book 2 is out next week!

Get your measuring spoons and mixing bowls out! The next book in my CAN DO Book series is out in 2 WEEKS!

I am such a Cantaloupe. (Image c/o CANTALOUPE AND HONEYDO RIDE A BIKE by Mike Boldt)

Such a charming series coming soon from my good (and talented) friend, James Burks!

Cover reveal. Happy to share the cover for my new graphic novel series—Boxtales! The first volume hits bookstores on Sept. 16, 2025. Click the link to read a sample and see the cover.

Hooray!! It's a fun bunny book from me, @mikeboldt.bsky.social and the good folks at Viking! This rhyming story is about a little bunny with some very big feelings 🐰 Can't wait for you to read it in 2026!

I received a box of random tea flavours from my wife. This morning was Spicy Chili Chocolate, AKA: a horrible trick.

Read BAD DOG by @mikeboldt.bsky.social to my 4 year olds and we decided while the cat made a bad dog, she was still a good cat. They loved the story!

What a fun tote bag to go with Elmore the Christmas Moose, @devpetty.bsky.social and @mikeboldt.bsky.social!

Hey #YEG folks! I'll be at Audreys Books starting at 2pm THIS Saturday, November the 27th at 2pm, signing for my latest with @devpetty.bsky.social, ELMORE THE CHRISTMAS MOOSE! Swing by and say "hi" and pick up a personalized gift for someone!

Unfortunately, due to the snowfall warning for #YYC, I have had to cancel my book signing tomorrow at Owl's Nest Books. Super disappointing. Was really looking forward to seeing everyone again and signing some copies of ELMORE. Stay safe out there everyone!

Hey #YYC folks! I'll be at the amazing Owl's Nest Books THIS Saturday for a festive signing of ELMORE the CHRISTMAS MOOSE (written by the one and only @devpetty.bsky.social and illustrated by myself)! Stop by between 1-3pm to say "hi" and if you'd like a signed copy to slide under the tree.

Let's do a giveaway,! ELMORE THE CHRISTMAS MOOSE (art by @mikeboldt.bsky.social) makes a fantastic gift! I'm giving away 3 signed copies, one with this handsome plush Elmore bookmark. Follow & share by 11/23, bonus entry if you comment with a weird and wonderful Xmas anecdote. #kidlit

Awesome gift idea? Yes! There is an Elmore plush which goes with ELMORE THE CHRISTMAS MOOSE- my latest book with @mikeboldt.bsky.social which Kirkus says is: "A delightful Christmas tale that has it all—holiday cheer, joy, and a most persistent moose." It really is sweet and weird and fun.

Looking for a earnest and sweet book this holiday? My new one with @devpetty.bsky.social fits the bill according to the reviews! Thank you, Kirkus!

Hey Bluesky. Is this somewhere over the rainbow?
