Special podcast announcing my new Moon Tree children’s book. Listen to our interview with the co-creator, and my sister, Miss Dee Dassen!

I’m thrilled to introduce our new children's book: "Izzy and Dee – The Moon Trees" co-created with author and illustrator (and my sister!) - Miss Dee Dassen. She is my guest on this special episode. Hear about how we grew up to be creative and how we inspire to impact the world!

This children's book about Moon trees is inspired by the real-life seeds taken to the Moon on the Apollo 14 mission. Izzy and Dee - The Moon Trees is a magical story that blends imagination, science, and adventure to inspire the next generation of space explorers and engineers.

Alongside the book is the Moon Tree Companion Passport guide, filled with interactive activities, worksheets, and sticker pages to track real-life Moon Tree visits around the U.S.

This is not our first adventure together—Dee and I also created Explore Space A to Z, and she’s written several beloved children’s books including Weird Animals A - Z, Weirdest Animals A to Z and the Skullie and Boop series.

Our new book is available now on Amazon, IngramSpark, and at your local bookstore. Visit MissDeeDassen.com to learn more and subscribe for updates on upcoming books and products.

Listen to this podcast on all of the major channels and at SpaceMarketingPodcast.com.

Let’s inspire the next generation to look up and reach for the stars!
