Coco’s Tea Party by Dr. Shon Shree Lewis is a delightful and heartwarming children’s book that follows Coco, an energetic and curious little girl, as she and her mom turn an ordinary summer day into a charming tea party adventure. It’s a simple yet endearing story of family, discovery, and delightful moments, complete with tea-making tips and a lighthearted tea game to engage readers of all ages. The story gently explores themes of creativity, relationships, and the joy of trying something new.

What I really loved about this picture book was how relatable and grounded the story felt. Coco’s excitement and innocence shone through in moments like when she discovered the tea sets at the store and lit up at the idea of hosting a party. The book captures that pure, childhood enthusiasm perfectly. One of my favorite parts was when Coco’s dad suggested they turn their tea preferences into a guessing game for the party. It was such a sweet, spontaneous idea that added a fun and interactive element to the story. It’s those small, genuine touches that make the family dynamics feel real and engaging.

Dr. Lewis’s writing is straightforward and approachable, which makes it perfect for young readers. The dialogue between Coco and her mom is particularly charming, like when Coco hesitantly took her first sip of hot tea with a “half grin” and then declared her approval.

The ending wrapped up beautifully with Coco expressing gratitude to her mom. That moment resonated with me. It was about creating memories and feeling cherished. The book’s wholesome message and warm tone are like a comforting cup of tea on a cozy afternoon.

I’d recommend Coco’s Tea Party for young children and families looking for a sweet, feel-good read. It’s particularly great for kids who love imaginative play or who might be curious about hosting their own special events. It’s also a lovely book for parents to share with their children, as it subtly reminds us of the joy in creating small but meaningful moments with the people we love.
