Jess Fogel is an author/illustrator who was born in Germany, grew up in Israel, and now lives among the trees, deer, and bears in the Catskills. Jess's illustrations have been published in the Portland Mercury, Yeti Magazine, and La Petite Magazine.
""Fogel’s gentle, straightforward story offers a noble message, especially in today’s world, which often values overconsumption over necessity; it’s clear that bigger isn’t always better. Arco’s emotional journey is authentic, and his eventual resolution rings true.""—Kirkus Reviews
