Brooklyn Studio

Paints, paper, and a rescue hound

Working from a sunlit Brooklyn studio surrounded by mountains of messy watercolor palettes and children's story manuscripts, Coco creates books inspired by daily neighborhood walks with Barnaby, her loyal rescue hound.

With over a decade of collaboration alongside early childhood educators, every story is crafted to foster kindness, resilience, and a lifelong love of reading.
