Lorena and the Magic Mocha Mirror

Lorena’s love of Magic Mocha Ice Cream makes her an easy target for body-shaming beach bullies on her family’s annual trip to Grandma Mimi’s beach house. But a trio of mermaids turn the tide and show Lorena that bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Soon, Lorena begins to love her body. In the end, it’s our pint-sized heroine who comes out on top. Lorena is the first girl hero in the Cocoa Kids Collection cast of multicultural characters. She joins brother Eddie (of Eddie and the Hot Cocoa Hot Rod©), Dad and Mom (Auntie from Isaiah and the Chocolate Mountain©) on a family summer adventure none of them will soon forget. The third in the series, this book is the author’s debut as illustrator and includes a special section with kid-friendly paper dolls that represent the three body types: ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph. Readers can cut-out and dress the figurines to see how beautiful every body can be!
