Inspiration for Coco! Cherry! Mango!
Coco! Cherry! Mango! is a love letter to the neighborhoods that shaped me and my childhood. Growing up in Uptown Manhattan, I was surrounded by the rich culture, historic landmarks, and vibrant communities that inspired this story. I wanted to capture the joy, music, and resilience of these neighborhoods, offering young readers a lyrical and colorful journey through the streets of Uptown NYC. This story is deeply personal, born from my inner child's wish for books that reflect the beauty of our neighborhoods-not the stereotypes. It's also a gift to my daughters and a celebration of the culture, history, and warmth of our communities.
