Join us on Tuesday, October 15th at 7:00 PM at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore when Berkeley author/illustrator Gabe Jensen comes to the store to launch his new children's picture book Nocturnal Nico: A Bedtime Picture Book for Night Owls. Gabe will read from and discuss his book with author/illustrator duo, Mackenzie Joy and Tony Piedra. Gabe will sign copies of his book after the presentation. Click Here to preorder a copy of Nocturnal Nico.With a cast of characters as quirky as the artwork by author and illustrator Gabe Jensen,Nocturnal Nicofollows the title character as he resists bedtime, mirroring the nocturnal creatures outside in the moonlight. Nico doesn’t want to sleep—he must be nocturnal! Like the owl in the tree, Nico is alert. Like the bat flying in the night, Nico isn’t afraid of the dark—or is he? With comic-like illustrations and obscure nocturnal animals throughout, this picture book will help your little night owl get to bed. Hopefully! Includes one page of backmatter explaining the difference between nocturnal and diurnal animals and the adaptations that allow them to thrive at night. After working as an advertising creative for clients like Coca-Cola, GABE JENSENspent 15 years making children’s digital media for Poptropica, Miniclip, and Ranger Rick Online. His first children’s book, Neverwoof, was released in 2021 and was shortlisted for the Kids’ Book Choice Awards.
