(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 25, 2018 ) Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company—is pleased to announce the release of Coco, a delightful new children’s book by Marie-Paule Mahoney.

Coco, an orphaned bear cub born in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, is heartbroken to leave her canine friends, Molly, Rags, and Pupsie. But Babou, the adult male bear who cares for her, explains that it is time to find a mama bear to adopt Coco and teach her how to live as a free, wild bear.

Babou and Coco set out on a perilous journey—with close encounters with a mountain lion and an intimidating group of male bears. Eventually, they meet Good Mama, who adopts Coco. But the adjustment is tough. Coco has a lot to learn about to become a “real” bear! Plus, she misses her friends, and her stepsister resents her.

Although children today live in a high-tech world, many of them are still drawn to animal stories, and Coco does not disappoint. Kids will enjoy reading about Coco’s first hibernation with her adopted family in a cave full of bats; a sweet reunion with Molly, Rags, and Pupsie; and many other adventures as Coco matures and eventually has a family of her own.
Part truth, part fiction, this child-friendly book smoothly weaves themes of adoption, bullying, friendship and environmental issues in a sweet yet realistic tale of survival.
