Author & Illustrator

Picture books for curious adventurers

Sunny bedtime tales and lively classroom read-alouds created for children aged three to eight, filled with resilient animal friends and heartfelt gentle giggles.

Behind The Brushes

Stories born from sketchbooks

Coco Labon blends digital gouache textures with traditional pencil studies in her sunlit studio, drawing real animals observed in upstate community parks.

Each narrative begins with a single emotion young children navigate daily—patience, gentle courage, or sharing big feelings—and expands into a world where every creature finds steady comfort.

From Classrooms & Bedrooms

Words from happy readers

Barnaby is our kindergarten classroom favorite every rainy Friday. The students memorize the gentle refrain and check on their friends throughout recess.

Clara Higgins, Elementary School Librarian

My four-year-old asks for Juniper three nights in a row every week. The illustrations feel like entering a warm glowing world right before lights out.

David Morales, Father of Two

Coco visited our public school virtually and showed our first-graders how she sketches character expressions. It sparked an entire month of student comic-making.
