2025 Moonbeam Award Winner - Picture Book Bronze

A Foreward INDIES 2023 Finalist for Picture Book of the Year

"Rules are rules" and wild animals aren't allowed on trains . . . or so says Conductor Jones.

Young adventurers will fall in love with Finley, a friendly moose with a toothy grin who wants nothing more than to ride the rails across Alaska and beyond. Prepare for giggles when Finley finds a costume shop and tries to pass for anything but wild, only to have Conductor Jones see right through these disguises. Fortunately, Finley has something Conductor Jones doesn't see coming - heart and determination - showing us all that there are some rules in life that are meant to be changed.

With illustrations that capture both the essence of Finley's spirit and the magic of an Alaskan railway adventure, Finley: A Moose on the Caboose is certain to be loved by anyone who dreams of making what seems impossible, possible.
