Peaches and Jake and 19 Cobras Oh My! follows two rescue pups as they navigate curiosities and misunderstandings with humor and the help of their human mom. Where did the idea for this story come from?

This book is actually a continuation of my first book, “Peaches and the 19 Cobras”. It talks about more of our life after the Pandemic and Covid-19. Like my first book, the events in this book are also true things that happened and things about how we lived our life during this difficult time in history.

What made you decide to weave educational aspects into a children’s book? 

I personally feel, that children’s books should not only be entertaining, but that they should be educational for children as well. With my first two books being about Pandemic and Covid-19, many children who are reading my books, or are having the book read to them were too young to remember what was happening at the time, and some weren’t even born yet when these events took place. So, I feel that it is important to tell about these things so that children can understand this particular time in our history and why things are the way they are today.  

What is one thing you hope young readers take away from Peaches and Jake and the lessons they learn?

I would like young readers to take away the fact that they should be kind to other people and animals, and that they should be helpful and considerate to others. And … it is good to be able to laugh at yourself, because no one is perfect.
