Now available in paperback! Wazzyjump is a magical rabbit, but no one knows what his magic is. Lion, ruler of all the beasts, wants to steal Wazzyjump’s magic for himself. And so does tricky Fox. But these selfish rivals are about to learn an unexpected and important lesson from the little rabbit, for Wazzyjump has a special magic that can be had but cannot be stolen.

Michael Moniz spent his childhood living between the big city and the tranquil Azores islands of Portugal. It is this unique upbringing and an early appreciation for culture and the arts that inspired Michael’s creativity at young age. His first book, Wazzyjump, also published by Simply Read Books, received a starred Kirkus review. The “luminous” and “delicacy” of its illustrations (Quill and Quire), as well as its “delightful tale of mystery, discovery, and friendship” (CM Magazine) are the signature for Michael’s whimsical creative style. When Michael is not telling stories, he works as an Artistic Director for a Toronto-based advertising agency.
