What Coco Can Do

Maribeth Boelts's 'What Coco Can Do' is a vibrant and loving tribute to the many roles dogs play in our lives, with a special focus on the profound comfort they provide. The book introduces various accomplished canines, like Luna the zoo dog and Lucky the super sniffer, while consistently returning to Coco, a gentle dog whose unique talent is offering cuddles to those experiencing fear, loneliness, or sadness. It's a beautiful way to acknowledge big feelings and show how simple acts of kindness and connection, often from our furry friends, can make a significant difference. Perfect for ages 4-11, this book offers warmth, humor, and a gentle message about empathy and emotional support.

A vibrant, loving tribute to the good that dogs do--especially everyday heroes like Coco, who comfort humans experiencing hardship, trauma, and loss. Coco is a dog who can cuddle. He's not like Luna, who lives with cheetahs at the zoo, or super sniffer Lucky or Jax the lifeguard dog. From cattle dogs to four-footed movie stars, there is no end to canine achievement. But Coco, in his special vest, is no less exceptional: he can bring comfort to a person with a fearful, lonely, or hurting heart. His cuddling makes others feel stronger and less alone. From a beloved picture book author and a gifted illustrator, this irresistible tribute to the therapeutic genius of dogs brims with warmth and humor. With art that captures the energy of accomplished canines at work and at play (often at the same time), this joyful roundup of talented pooches--punctuated every couple of pages by a cuddle with Coco--will send you straight to the couch for a snuggle with someone special.
