Coco Travels to Alabama

By Tia Hargrove

Book Overview

What happens when Mommy flies to Alabama - and Coco's imagination takes flight right along with her?

Coco Brown has a question the moment breakfast begins: where is Mommy flying today? When Mommy Shonda - a flight attendant in her special blue uniform - announces she is heading to Alabama, Coco springs into action. She asks Daddy to take her to the library, finds a book in the 900s section using the Dewey Decimal System, and that night, curled up beside Daddy in her pajamas, learns everything there is to know about the Yellowhammer State.

Then she drifts off to sleep - and the real adventure begins.

As Captain Coco, she pilots her own airplane straight to Alabama, where she trains like an astronaut at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, walks through thousands of blooming flowers at the Bellingrath Gardens in Theodore, swims with bottlenose dolphins at Orange Beach, meets Rosa Parks, who helped America become a fairer place for everyone, meets Jesse Owens, who represented America and made everybody proud with four Olympic gold medals, and meets Nat King Cole, whose voice was so special that people across America listened on the radio and on television.

She wakes to Mommy's kiss, Alabama stickers for her blue sticker book and green suitcase - and a heart already full of wonder. There are so many places to go.

Coco Travels to Alabama is Book 1 of the Coco Travels series - a planned 50-state alphabetical adventure that takes young readers from Alabama all the way to Wyoming, one dream at a time. Each book celebrates the geography, landmarks, wildlife, and remarkable people that make every American state extraordinary.

Perfect for ages 3-8 as a read-aloud, a bedtime story, a classroom companion, or a gift for any child who loves to wonder about the world around them.
