About

Possums are more than the ugly-cute icons of the internet. These so-called trash animals and pointy kitties are not only relatable avatars for anxious but resilient people everywhere, but nature's secret clean-up crew.



Organized around common myths that have given possums a bad reputation, this fun and offbeat book reveals the truth about possums through dozens of adorable photos, informative illustrations, and fascinating facts. Did you know that…



• Possums protect people and pets from disease! A single possum can eat up to 4,000 ticks per week!

• Possums excel at interspecies friendships, often sleeping in other animals' dens.

• Possums are shy creatures: when they "play dead," they are actually fainting from anxiety!



Written by wildlife rehabber and possum advocate Ally Burguieres, known for her popular Instagram account @ItsMeSesame, this accessible and giftable guide explains why possums deserve our admiration and offers tips on how we can protect and advocate for these magical marsupials.
