Anyone interested in writing Poems for Pets to support my local rescue? What's better than writing poetry about the adorable quirky pets in our lives and helping us rescue more animals?

This is Melissa - wondering if there are any fellow dog and/or pet lovers in the #epistemicfamily and #poetry community who'd be interested in collaborating with me on a volume of poems about pets with the proceeds being donated to the rescue I volunteer with? Inspired by @1dgrn.bsky.social

The post-holiday season is one of the most active times of year for rescues as Christmas present pups and kitties become work instead of gifts and regret sets in. But what if we could help raise funds to help a rescue by writing poems?

So... most years, I read a book aloud with my kids during the holiday season. They are older now (16 and 13) so it's getting trickier to find books they will enjoy.
DO YOU HAVE ANY BOOK RECS FOR US? Looking for YA with winter or Christmas vibes. A little magic and/or science would be a big plus.
