Author Matthew Lasley is a children's book author living and teaching elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska, his family mined for gold in Alaska and in the Klondike; his debut book Pedro's Pan sold over 3k sold in HC and is set to release in PB on the same day as Max and Ed Bike to Nome.
Illustrator Jacob Souva previously collaborated with Matthew Lasley on Pedro's Pan and recently released his debut as an author-illustrator, Little Bee's Flower.
Max and Ed Bike to Nome is based on the true story of Ed Jesson, a gold rush pioneer who biked more than 1000 miles across Alaska, from Dawson City to Nome in 1900, to beat the rush of miners; this picture book is told from the perspective of Ed's bicycle, Max, as they trek across the snowy landscape.
This book will have strong regional appeal in the Alaska tourist market (nearly $2.2b spent annually) and in the educational/library market; specialty markets include cycling enthusiasts and Gold Rush/historical interest.
Backmatter includes information about the real Ed Jesson, a map of his route, and some details about traveling across Alaska.
Will cross-promote with other Alaska titles releasing in the same season/recently released: All Aboard the Alaska Train, Where Giants Roamed, Alaska is for the Birds, The Littlest Airplane.
