Meet the Characters

KATY

Curious, clever, and never afraid to speak her mind, Katy loves animals, big questions, and every new adventure that comes her way.

COCO

Adventurous and full of heart, Coco loves muddy adventures just as much as cozy cuddles and slobbery kisses.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

With Granny’s wisdom, Grandad’s touch of mischief, Mom’s calm strength, Dad’s steady love, and Auntie’s playful spirit, her family is always close by with warmth, care, and a safe place to land.

Meet the Animal Friends

FREDDY THE FROG

A rainy-day rescue who shows that staying calm, taking a breath, and not giving up can make all the difference.

CHERRY THE HAIRY SPIDER

A surprising new friend who reminds us that being different can feel scary, until you take the time to get to know her.

About Katy & Coco

Katy & Coco was created to make children’s eyes sparkle, and to create a gentle space where families can slow down and find a dash of imagination together.

Set on a sunny South African farm, the series follows Katy and Coco, best friends who do everything together, as they tumble into everyday adventures and meet new animal friends along the way.

These are stories that invite curiosity, kindness, and a quiet giggle or two long after the book is closed.
