Help Print Mr. Gopher's Adventure Books!

Donation protected
✨ Donors who give $49+ will be featured on our website’s “Pinecone Partners” thank-you wall: Mr.GophersAdventures.com

When Laurel was little, she discovered hidden letters at her family’s forest cabin — signed by a clever creature named Mr. Gopher.

These real letters, written by her grandparents, sparked years of wonder and storytelling. Now, she’s sharing that magic in her warm, beautifully illustrated children’s book, Mr. Gopher and the Band-Aid Box — the first in a planned series, Mr. Gopher’s Adventures.

With your help, these books can be printed, shared, and donated to schools, libraries, and communities , sparking imagination and outdoor play for kids everywhere.

Every contribution helps bring this heartfelt story to life , one page (and pinecone) at a time.

We’re so close to bringing Mr. Gopher’s Adventures to life — but we can’t do it without you!
The very first print run is almost ready, and with your help we can send Mr. Gopher and his letters out into the world this fall. Every dollar goes directly toward:

Printing the first batch of books

ISBN registration

Marketing materials for school/library visits

Fun extras like bookmarks & stickers for young readers

✨ Donate by November 30th to be part of our first ever Pinecone Partner circle — and see your name in our launch thank-you list!

Your kindness will help turn a childhood memory into a tradition other families can share for generations.
