a lovely children’s book from my friend, fellow blogger, poet, & writer

Cora’s Quest

Written by Lauren Scott

Illustrated by Chris Mendez

Cora’s Quest is a delightful tale about the wonder and curiosity that comes with being young and the confidence that comes with time. Told through the eyes of a sweet fawn named Cora, and illustrated beautifully in natural colors, you’ll follow along throughout her quest. 

On her journey, Cora learns that along with the joys come challenges, as she begins to navigate the world around her, remembering the lessons her family has taught her, and gaining confidence along the way, finding a final happy resolution. What a wonderful book to read to your child and what great discussions could follow. This is told in such a gentle way that children will not be scared and will see a way out of what could be a scary situation. 

As someone who got lost as a child, and remembering how scary it was, I could so identify with Cora’s character and I’ll bet that many other children can as well. As someone who continues to get lost as an adult, but who now has GPS, I could not recommend this book more highly.

    • I’m so glad that you liked it, and as you saw at the end, it truly had a personal meaning for me on top of everything else. I’m going to be visiting my old classroom on Friday and I’m going to read it to them as a surprise. )

      • I’m revisiting your wonderful review and pasting it on my page for Cora, Beth. I love how her story resonated with you in a personal way about getting lost. I’ve had my share of those panic times too, one that will stay with me forever. So I get it. :) Anyway, thanks again, and please let me know how tomorrow goes with your class. Also, if it’s possible to take a photo, I would love that, but I know privacy with the children would be an issue. 🥰

  29. A lovely review for this touching and teaching book.
    I was also impressed by Lauren’s ability to speak to a child on their terms.

    I get lost, too! People say “get lost” and I get lost. 😅
