When Rocky's game of hide-and-seek in the big trees of Upstate New York takes a turn, the little owl gets taken on a ride, far far away from home just in time for Christmas. On her journey, Rocky encounters a number of people-some human, some gigantic and gold-places, including the big frozen pond and her first experience "inside," and most importantly, the glamour of unlimited mouse meals that she didn't have to hunt for herself. Rocky's Road to the Big City is sure to become a holiday story for the ages; a tiny, feathered piece of New York City holiday lore. Based on the events surrounding the arrival of the 2020 Rockefeller Christmas Tree in New York City, this book tells the story from the perspective of the tiny saw-whet owl who stowed away in its branches. Follow along on Rocky's harrowing adventure from Oneonta to the Big Apple and meet the kind humans who help her along her journey.
Autorenporträt
An avid reader her whole life, Jessica DelVirginia always knew that she'd write a children's book one day. The opportunity presented itself when Rocky made her appearance at Rockefeller Center in 2020. Jessica grew up in New Jersey, and would look forward to traveling into New York City every year to see the Rockefeller tree with her family. Jessica is now the founder of Insite Strategy, a strategic communications firm based in the New York metro area, where she tells the stories of her clients in a number of industries on a daily basis. Telling Rocky's story was an exciting creative departure from her typical press releases. Jessica is a graduate of New York University and IE Business School. Courtney Ling began her career with the intention of inspiring generations raised on technology to reconnect with the communities, cultures, and landscapes around them. After working as a designer in a variety of industries, she realized that she could make a difference by putting thoughtful work into niche industries where the creative details were typically overlooked. Courtney now works in the packaging design industry, with a focus on beauty. She loves heartwarming holiday stories, and when the opportunity arose to illustrate Rocky's tale, she was excited to make this her first foray into illustration for children. Courtney holds a BFA from The College of New Jersey.
