Henry and Calvin, a children’s book written by Calvin Tucker and illustrated by Nadia Ronquillo, the book will be available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and direct purchase, with signed copies available locally.
Each copy is uniquely autographed with Henry’s actual paw print and will be released in time for the holiday season around Thanksgiving, making it a meaningful gift for families and elementary school classrooms. The story is told as closely as possible to real events, drawing from firsthand accounts of those who saw Henry and his mother on campus before Henry wandered into the woods and ultimately found his way to the home where this journey began. Proceeds from each sale support the sanctuary and help cover veterinary care, further extending the impact of the story beyond the page.
