BACKGROUND:  Cooper and Me books, aimed at children 4 – 7, are illustrated by Alexa Peters  (now 13), and co-written with her mother, Monique Peters.  The idea for the books came from Alexa's sketchbooks, in which she created stories since she was very little as a means of expressing her feelings about her daily experiences.  The original Cooper and Me book tells the story of a young girl who is nervous as her first day of school approaches.  The second book, Cooper and Me and the Winter Adventure, is about two dog pals – Cooper and Bella – who go off on a sledding adventure and have a hard time finding their way home after a snowstorm.  These engaging and wise stories captivate young learners while helping build emotional resilience.  Interactive resources at the back of each book, and at www.cooperandme.com, provide further opportunity for parents to explore these topics with their kids.   

The story behind Cooper and Me also offers an inspiring example of families working together to help others.  A portion of the proceeds from the original Cooper and Me goes to the Happy Hearts Fund, which builds schools in disaster areas, and $1.00 from each Winter Adventure book sold will support The Lustgarten Foundation, the nation’s largest private foundation solely dedicated to finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.
