Bookie & Cookie Turn the Page

Illustrated by Blanca Gómez
What does the future hold for these two friends? They have lots of guesses that are a very funny mix of excitement and anxiety. But the only way to know for sure is to actually turn the page!

In this companion to Bookie & Cookie, the friends find themselves on a blank page, wondering what might be next. Bookie imagines something wonderful such as a bright sunny day, but Cookie worries that it might be something terrible, like an awful stormy day. "We might find a field full of butterflies," Bookie suggests, but Cookie is afraid it might instead be a marsh full of mosquitoes! Will Bookie ever be able to convince his nervous friend to turn the page and find out? A delightful surprise is waiting there.
Blanca Gómez is an illustrator and designer who started creating illustrations for her mother when she was just a child. Now her art can be seen in the acclaimed picture books Besos for Baby, One Family, Red House Brown Mouse, Dress-Up Day, and Very Good Hats, among others.
