The Adventures of Tekoah — A Holiday with Coco

A big journey, little discoveries and family memories to treasure.

School is out, and Tekoah is travelling from Paris to Guadeloupe with Mommy and Daddy! Waiting for him is Coco, his lively grandmother in her eighties, whose warm hugs, traditional cooking and thoughtful questions make every day an adventure.

With cousin Flora beside him, Tekoah discovers tropical gardens, colourful birds, busy markets, sandy beaches and journeys between islands. From packing his suitcase and taking his first long flight to tasting chicken colombo and helping Coco prepare homemade jam, he learns that growing in courage also means listening, asking for help and respecting his limits.

This beautifully illustrated story brings together family roots, curiosity and practical wisdom—with gentle opportunities to count, share, make thoughtful choices and express feelings.

• 54 illustrated story scenes, from the last day of school to the journey home.
