One of five books I wrote as part of Creative Company’s Amazing Animals series aimed at second-grade readers, which tell the tales (and tails) of some of the Earth’s most fascinating creatures—how they live, what they eat, and what makes them unique. They were a lot of fun to write, and the animals were of course adorable and fuzzy. (Well, not the scorpions…) Published in January 2025.

From Creative Company’s description: Despite its fierce-looking quills and high-pitched chirps and squeaks, the North American porcupine is a shy, gentle rodent. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal’s anatomy, feeding habits, life cycle, and porcupette care. Its forest habitat is described, too. A folktale from the Ojibwe people explains how the porcupine got its quills. Part of Creative Education’s popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
