Maslow and Mordecai

Maslow was hoping for magic on his birthday, but he got . . . a bird?
He thought the gift was sadly absurd.
But sometimes, things turn out to be not at all what you think.
So keep your mind open—things can change in a blink!

Maslow & Mordecai is a beautifully illustrated children's book that follows the curious adventures of a young boy and his magical bird companion. With lyrical text by Josh Cutler and enchanting hand-drawn illustrations by Taylor Reich Cutler, the book invites children and grown-ups alike into a gentle exploration of unmet expectations, quiet courage, and finding strength in unexpected places. Maslow & Mordecai is a thoughtful, heartwarming addition to any child’s library.

Perfect for ages 2 and up, ideal for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, or imaginative story time with caregivers.
