I know @pauljcoccia debut #picturebook doesn't come out until Feb but THE BEAR FAIRY (illus by
@FredBlunt) is too important (and adorable) to wait. From @TundraBooks (@PenguinRandomCA). Can a pudgy, hairy fairy break stereotypes? YES! https://t.co/KOwT4OXujV

[Paul Coccia @pauljcoccia]

@HelenKubiw @FredBlunt @TundraBooks @PenguinRandomCA 💖 I love this! Thank you, Helen - we will have to share a bag of chips one day soon and search for fairies together

What do you call a group of Canadian authors? A gaggle? A gang? There should be a special word! We’ll think of one… Great afternoon @chaptersindigo Vega today! @ireadcanadian

[E Train Talks Books @ETrainsWorld]

It’s time for another BOOKFLAP FRIDAY, and in honor of the last Friday in #pride month, I’m shining a bright beautiful 🌈 light on author @pauljcoccia’s newest YA read, RECOMMEND READING! Published by @zandoprojects, this is a heartfelt, charming romcom that shares the meaningful & timeless message to not judge a book (or person) by its cover. Paul Coccia’s sweet, coming of age story is a gentle, but powerful reminder that people are layered, and so our love stories. RECOMMENDED READING takes us inside the hearts and minds of anyone who’s been brave enough to love loudly. For those of us who have felt the sting of unrequited love, and for those of us who may have judged a cover too quickly and not taken the opportunity to read the pages inside. Here’s to love stories! Here’s to accepting and loving ourselves, and here’s to Paul Coccia’s RECOMMENDED READING, a book I know you’ll love!
