Synopsis

Cookie is a genius―Milk, a daredevil. Cookie loves math and science while Milk loves sports and adrenaline. They are opposites. But they’re also best friends.

Without Milk, Cookie couldn’t imagine her best inventions. And without Cookie, Milk couldn’t do the cool stuff that she loves to do.

But can smart and sporty really go together?

Follow this dynamic duo through their skateboard stunts and tubular-tastic surfs to discover what lies beneath true friendship.

Written by Michele McAvoy, this First Place Dragonfly Book Award winner breaks stereotypes and puts the fabulousness of STEM in the limelight. It is sure to entertain, excite and endear young readers and parents alike.

Cookie & Milk carries the key message of STEM advocacy, multi-racial families and diversity supported by the many advocates of positive parenting solutions. It'll sit comfortably on your shelf alongside other books that focus on similar issues, such as the work of Andrea Beaty (Ada Twist Scientist) Beth Ferry (Stone).
