It weaves science, real-life adventure and a deep love for wildlife into a page-turner that’s both easy to follow and fascinating for all ages.

The book’s structure?

In Velvet: Elk, Wapiti, and Deer Stories unfolds in three distinct parts.

The first part takes readers into the wild landscapes and behind-the-scenes projects of elk (also called wapiti) in Western Canada. Readers will get a front-row seat to real veterinary work, including what it’s like to care for these majestic animals in both the wilderness and zoos.

The second part of the book brings to life the extraordinary story of how Dr. Haigh helped organize the first international air shipment of elk to New Zealand since 1905. Alongside this, he shares rich tales from his consulting trips across the world, including places like Australia, the UK and Argentina.

The final section brings readers home to the Haigh family’s own elk farm in Saskatoon. Through honest and heartfelt stories, Dr. Haigh shares the joys and challenges of modern deer farming. In addition to teaching, this nonfiction book emotionally engages readers with rarely seen or understood creatures, people and locations.

This non-fiction voyage will introduce you to a world of wonder, regardless of whether you’re a student, a veterinarian, a nature lover, or just someone who is interested in animals. Dr. Haigh writes in a straightforward, amiable, and lively manner. 

He brings not just facts but feelings into every page. Readers can immerse themselves in an exciting and scientific life without ever feeling overwhelmed or lost thanks to the more than 60 references and more than 50 full-color photos.

Jerry Haigh is a veterinarian originally from Kenya and trained in Glasgow. His long and remarkable career has included working with elephants, lions, polar bears, moose and of course, many species of deer.

Author Mike Mouzakis shares a heartfelt story about courage, teamwork, and believing in yourself.

Louisville, Kentucky, United States, 4th Mar 2026 – Author Mike Mouzakis is proud to announce the release of Pete: A Story Of Loyalty And Love, a touching new Children’s book now available on Amazon. Written in easy, clear English, this meaningful story follows a small truck named Pete and his young driver, Brandon, as they prove that heart, teamwork, and kindness matter more than size or strength.

A Story That Teaches Big Lessons in Simple Ways

Pete: A Story Of Loyalty And Love is a Children’s book that introduces readers to Pete, a small and worn-out truck who works in a busy trucking yard. Unlike the big, shiny trucks, Pete is often ignored and teased. Still, he works hard every day with his loyal driver, Brandon, who believes in him even when others do not.

Together, Pete and Brandon show what true teamwork looks like. Brandon cares for Pete with patience and pride, while Pete gives his best no matter how tough the job is. This Children’s book gently teaches young readers that being different does not mean being weak, and that quiet effort matters just as much as loud success.

When Courage Is Put to the Test

The heart of this Children’s book comes alive when an urgent Easter candy delivery is at risk. With the other trucks unable to help, Pete and Brandon bravely volunteer to take on a long and difficult cross-country trip. Many doubt they can succeed, but they choose courage over fear.

Their journey is filled with steep mountains, long desert roads, and moments where quitting would feel easier than continuing. Young readers experience these challenges alongside Pete and Brandon, learning that real courage often means pushing forward even when the road feels too hard.

A Community That Comes Together

When Pete breaks down just minutes from the destination, the story takes a powerful turn. Instead of failure, readers see kindness and teamwork in action as the town of Sweetwater steps in to help. Police officers, townspeople, and workers all play a role in finishing the delivery.

This moment in the Children’s book teaches an important lesson: success is not always about finishing alone. Sometimes, asking for help and accepting support is just as important as hard work.

Loyalty That Changes Everything

One of the strongest messages in Pete: A Story Of Loyalty And Love is loyalty. Brandon never gives up on Pete, even when he fears Pete will be scrapped and forgotten. That loyalty is rewarded when Mr. Scott surprises Brandon by rebuilding Pete into a powerful new truck known as “Big Pete.”

This emotional ending makes the Children’s book both inspiring and uplifting. It reminds young readers that love, care, and honesty are always noticed, even when it feels like no one is watching.

Inspired by Real-Life Experience

Author Mike Mouzakis brings real-world heart to this Children’s book. Born in North Carolina as the son of a Marine Lt. Colonel, Mike later became a professional truck driver. He spent years hauling loads across 22 western states, gaining firsthand knowledge of life on the road.

The idea for Pete: A Story Of Loyalty And Love came while waiting for a load and watching a small yard truck quietly do its job. That simple moment inspired a story about unseen heroes and the value of every role, no matter how small it may seem.

A Book for Children, Parents, and Educators

This Children’s book is ideal for families, classrooms, and libraries. Parents can use the story to talk about respect, patience, and believing in yourself. Teachers will find it helpful for lessons on teamwork, perseverance, and kindness.

With clear language and a warm message, Pete: A Story Of Loyalty And Love invites readers of all ages to slow down, listen, and appreciate the strength found in loyalty and love.

Availability and Where to Buy

Pete: A Story Of Loyalty And Love by Mike Mouzakis is available now on Amazon.
