“Hello West Point Elementary School Readers! Thank you so much for reading A Rover's Story. I hope you enjoy getting to meet Resilience, Fly, Journey, Guardian, and all the other characters in the book. And I really hope the book makes you curious about space and the whole-wide universe as well as think deeply about what it means to feel things, what it means to be a friend, and what it means to be brave. Enjoy the adventure!” ~Jasmine Warga
