Hi, I’m Coco Mia—

"This is a very darling story. It gives adventure and examples of kindness and hope all wrapped up in one little story."

Nancy Fulton Young, Health Services/Rotarian

“The Adventures of Coco Mia invites us on the path of possibility of each new day…a path best paved by loyalty, kindness, and trusted friends.”

Peggy Prilaman Marxen, former elementary teacher, author of The Farm on Badger Creek: Memories of a Midwest Girlhood

“I dare any reader not to fall in love with Coco Mia, a precious pup with a heart-shaped nose. When faced with a scary situation she relies on her sense of courage (and a few new friends) to find her way home.”

Laura Anne Bird, middle grade author of Marvelous Jackson and Crossing the Pressure Line

“Coco Mia’s story was entirely engaging and captures all the things that we know and love about this curly-haired gal! From Coco Mia’s drive for exploration and her ability to develop friendships easily, to her resilience which eventually led her safely home.”

“I had the pleasure of being the first to read Coco Mia’s adventure out loud to a group of kindergarten students! They were mesmerized by the story of how Coco Mia finds her way home after a frightening experience. All eyes and ears were glued until the end and happy that Coco Mia was found!”

“As Troy and Paisley’s mom and Coco’s Dog-mother, I am so excited to get a sneak peek read of the Adventures of Coco Mia!

I can’t wait to read her next adventure.”

“It is so cool to read a book that you happen to know the main character in it. Coco Mia taught me that being nice and kind to your friends is important, because tomorrow they might help you too.”

Pearl, 5th grader

"I liked how brave Coco Mia was going on an adventure to help someone, and it reminded me to always check before crossing the street!"
