Step into the world of K-Time with CoCo n' JJ — a warm early-readers tale of new friendships, big feelings, and the gentle courage to be kind.
About the Book
A gentle story of first days, big feelings & small bravery.
Coco is a warm nine-year-old narrator who invites readers into Jj's first day of kindergarten. Jj meets Shawn — a boy whose day is shadowed by quiet strain — and discovers the strength it takes to reach out when it's hard.
With Dad, a steady pastor, leading the family to a Saturday football game, the story plants a seed of kindness, faith, and friendship that grows into a brighter outlook for everyone.
