Coco came into Grace and Jesse’s life in February of 2022 and is the best little buddy. Coco is the most joyful little thing and has never met a stranger. She smiles at every person she sees and most people who see her can’t resist a smile back! Her love for life and the simple joys in everyday adventures like going to pet stores or the vet was the inspiration for this new book venture. We hope everyone’s day can be brightened by spending time with Coco and using her outlook on life to always find the good and joyful moments!

Grace had recently graduated with her PhD and wanted something creative to do with the time she saved from no longer having a dissertation to write, so she decided to write a children’s book! She knew it would be about Coco because the joy she brings the Ander family is the perfect inspiration for a children’s story. Grace is so excited to share this venture and their sweetest Coco with you all!

The Anders live in Austin and love exploring local hikes, restaurants, coffee shops, and music and other artistic performances. We are looking forward to sharing future books to bring you into our lives more and more!
