A .M. Wanders, the creative mind behind the WanderPigs, is a passionate traveler, storyteller, and lifelong believer in the magic of imagination.
Deeply inspired by the boundless creativity of Jim Henson, Wanders crafts adventures where friendship, curiosity, and kindness open doors to hidden worlds just beyond human sight.
Holding a master’s degree in education administration from the University of North Texas, Wanders blends a love of learning with a deep connection to the natural world.

Every journey is fueled by the belief, much like Henson’s own vision, that
there is always more to discover when you dare to imagine.

The WanderPigs: And The Missing Christmas Tree Star
When the grand Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square loses its sparkling topper on Christmas Eve, panic spreads through the animal world of London. Without the star’s guiding light, Tinsel the mouse’s family may never find their way home for the holidays.
Enter Pip and Hamlet—two intrepid piggy detectives with a knack for uncovering the truth. Armed with Pip’s quick thinking, Hamlet’s meticulous note-taking, and a network of unforgettable animal allies, the duo soars across the city to track down the thief. From the royal grounds of Buckingham Palace to the bustling stalls of Covent Garden, clues lead them through hidden passageways and secret markets invisible to the human eye.
But this is no ordinary culprit. The “slinky creature” is faster than the wind and clever enough to slip past even the sharpest watch. As time ticks toward dusk, Pip and Hamlet must rally their friends—including a regal corgi, a sly fox, a team of ravens, and a mechanical-winged pigeon—to hatch a daring plan to save Christmas.
Full of heartwarming teamwork, whimsical world-building, and just the right touch of mystery, The WanderPigs and the Case of the Missing Christmas Tree Star is a festive tale of friendship, second chances, and the magic that happens when courage and kindness come together. Perfect for fans of animal adventures, holiday stories, and mysteries with a dash of wonder.
