Observing the characters of four of my grandchildren, the idea for Coco and the Bears arrived… a seventy-eight page, epic children’s adventure story, with 45 colour illustrations, for children aged three to ninety-nine.

Three cousins, Otto, Ava and Obie, aged almost six, each armed with their own super-power, valiantly set off through the woods to rescue Otto’s intrepid little sister Coco, who has disappeared in the forest leaving only her small foot print next to a very large paw print… Each child is called upon to use their unique gift or 'superpower' on their mission to find Coco.

 It has been pure joy to write and illustrate my first children’s book, and especially to have my talented and beloved sister, Melanie Campbell, design the book. Here is a link to her website. https://www.gopated2inc.com/
