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).

This book comes with a free Reader's Guide, with activities asking children to compare and contrast Cookie and Milk, identify the author's purpose and more. Download your copy direct from the publisher website.

Industry Reviews

"McAvoy's friendship tale features two girls who recount how they learned to be friends and bonded over their personality differences. Caregivers will also find helpful starter questions to ask when exploring differences with their kids. Those questions provide a framework within which young readers may learn to value and accept differences in themselves and others. Even after the story, readers are provided with a list of powerhouse women who were either 'smart' or 'sporty,' and a glossary of words encourages supportive friendships. Gibson's simple, cartoon illustrations playfully remind girls that there are universal commonalities in sisterhood. Smart, sassy, supportive girl power to the max!" Kirkus
