Millie is a curious baby musk ox with an eye for adventure. When she finds herself in over her head with an exciting new toy, she's got to turn to her friends for help before she can get back to her typical fun!

Millie's adventures are inspired by the woolly musk oxen of Palmer, Alaska and the nearly 70 years of conservation efforts to save them. This feel-good story tells a tale of Millie and her friends up to their usual mischief.

As a scientist working in Alaska in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Alyssa was inspired to write this story after visiting a farm devoted to responsibly reestablishing the musk ox population. These once-endangered creatures are called "Oomingmak" by Alaska Natives, which means "The Bearded One", and their wool is some of the finest in the world. Proceeds from this book will be donated to continued musk ox conservation efforts.
