Coffee and Cedar, the perfect best selling book for parents to read to their children.
Now available in Spanish!

We all have a mentor, a confidante, our “rock” as it were. They help us find our voice and give us encouragement. But how do we remind ourselves of that strength and confidence they introduced to us after they pass away? Read Coffee and Cedar to find out.

A grandfather shares stories of his life’s challenges with his grandson to teach him to have courage and confidence. At the end of each story, he tells his grandson, “El sol no se tapa con un dedo.”

This is the story of a young boy who deals with the harshness of criticism associated with a talent he knows he has through several stages of his life.

It is also a story of how those we love can influence our lives and how the strength they have provided can continue to live on from generation to generation.

Coffee and Cedar is a story that both adults and children can appreciate and enjoy over and over again.

“It is so incredibly poignant and I can clearly see why it has won so many awards and touched so many seeking strength and courage to keep fighting for their dreams.”

Mike Woodcock is a full-time award-winning illustrator and graphic designer living in Orlando, Florida. A native of Georgia, he traveled south to Sarasota to earn his degree from the Ringling School of Art and Design and to work for the Mouse during his summers. He settled in Orlando, where he met his beautiful wife, and they now spend most of their time between chasing their first child everywhere her little legs will carry her and trying to draw and paint everything in between. He hopes his love for illustrations and exploring books through pictures and words will mean more to his daughter as she grows up (but not too fast).
