Miko Learns to Be Brave

Taylor Thomas and Andrea Scida

Coming Soon

Miko the monkey is afraid to try new things. But with the help of his feeding therapist, he learns that overcoming his fears can make him feel brave! Created by feeding therapists, Taylor Thomas and Andrea Scida of the Pediatric Feeding Institute of Florida, we follow along as Miko tries new shapes and presentations of some of his favorite foods. His very real—and very funny!—reactions to having to experience something new perfectly demonstrate what can happen when a child is afraid of leaving their comfort zone when it comes to food.

In order to help their patients overcome food-related issues, the authors worked with artist Patrick Laurent to create the Miko character and his colorful world. Together, they are making an inspiring group of books that will entertain and support children and parents alike. Miko and his antics are bound to become favorites for every child’s bookshelf.
