📣ANNOUNCING the winner of the 2026 Cow Tipping Prize: PAM WILLIAMS! 🎉🌟 Pam was selected among hundreds of our authors to publish her own book next spring. Her honest voice and poetic storytelling stood out, and we couldn’t be more excited to share more of her beautiful writing with the world. We celebrated her win at Déjà Móó this year, where she was crowned with a gold Cow Tipping hat and Bryan, Shaunte, Laron, and an audience full of fans cheered her on. Below is one of Pam’s poems titled, “Never.”

Table does break
It’s wood
Might break glasses
I sit at the table and eat
The meal lasts forever
Lasts longer than the table
Flowers forever
And tulips
♡

Our condolences go out to friends and family of Denise Cady, who we just learned died this summer. We remember Denise as a direct communicator, daylight savings time enthusiast, prolific emailer, occasional visitor to Cow Tipping teachers at Jamba Juice, and author of everyone's favorite sticker.

"The owl is wearing purple clothes and I think he walk cripple piggy toes and he had to be in a wheelbarrow or a wagon. His legs had to be on a cast and he saw a moon and he had chicken and it started to rain and he end up had to go to the hospital because his heart stopped." - Denise Cady, "Purple Owl"
