The extraordinary illustrations by award-winning illustrator Scot Ritchie are reminiscent of beloved picture-book classics. \nMargot Tohn & Murray\nMargot Tohn\, known affectionately as “The Lady\,” has been Murray’s human since he was just eight weeks old. \nOversized\, energetic\, sensitive\, and mischievous\, Murray quickly became a social media sensation thanks to Margot’s charming Facebook chronicles of his adventures. \nInspired by the joy Murray brings to children and adults alike\, Margot created The Murray Tails—a series of children’s books filled with heart and life lessons. \nMargot and Murray split their time between New York City and Saratoga Springs\, NY\, where Murray continues to charm everyone he meets—especially kids. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
