kiki and coco in paris

Remember that time you took your favorite doll or stuffed animal with you on a trip to a faraway city?  The charming story of Kiki and Coco in Paris will remind you of those jovial times.  One of the protagonists in the story is a lovely handmade doll named Coco, made by artist Jess Brown, and the adventures (and misadventures) she and her girl Kiki have together on a trip to Paris.  Avery’s favorite part is when a dog takes Coco and breaks her arm, which is later fixed.  We loved seeing all the sights and sounds of Paris through Kiki’s eyes.  This story would be the perfect theme for a party or play date!  Fill a pretty plate with some brioche and macarons and call it an afternoon.  Extra points if you whip up a cup of Parisian chocolat chaud!

Kiki and Coco in Paris was authored by Nina Gruener, photographed by Stephanie Rausser and the doll in the story was made by Jess Brown.
