The real story behind the wag
Sometimes, the best
souvenir is family.
When Kara and Tom found themselves staying in Mexico during Covid, they could keep working remotely. What they hadn’t planned on was meeting Koda.
They adopted him there, and an unexpected stay became the beginning of a life together. Now Kara is turning that first adventure into a story for curious little readers everywhere.
Koda found his people. We hope you’ll love meeting him.
