Boy, Age 6, and Mom Receive Mom’s Choice Silver Award for Second Book;
Authors Give Books to Schools, Take Part in Literacy Programs

Michael Cohn, age 6, and his mother, Lisa Cohn, were awarded a Mom’s Choice Silver Award for their new children’s book, “Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy,” and were honored to be invited to participate in three literacy programs.

The authors are also thrilled that “Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy” has received numerous 5-star reviews on Amazon. The reviewers focus on the life lessons imparted by the book and on the fact that a young boy helped write it.

“Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy” follows “Bash and Lucy Fetch Confidence,” a Mom’s Choice Silver Award winner and finalist, USA Best Book Awards. The Cohns wrote the first book in 2013 to overcome grief over the sudden death of their golden retriever, Lucy.

Lisa and Michael were recently invited to speak with school children at the Rotary Club in Portland in May, to take part in “Skype in the classroom’s” new literacy campaign, and to take part in the Parent-Child Home Program.

“Our mission is to share our love of reading and writing and we’re thrilled to be taking part in these literacy programs,” said Lisa Cohn.

The Cohns visit school children in Portland and via Skype, sharing their story and encouraging children to read and write. They donate their books to schools and to literacy programs.

They also do “KidLit Chats with Michael,” during which book lover Michael discusses books with young children. Here’s an example:

In “Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy,” a young boy’s dog, Lucy, helps coach his soccer team by kissing the kids and making them laugh, and even leads the team to the championships. But the boy, Bash, is overcome with jealousy when a soccer player on a Special Olympics team asks if Lucy could coach his team.

“In ‘Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy,’ authors Lisa and Michael Cohn take kids on a wonderful ride through a life lesson on jealousy, sharing, and compassion for others,” said Kirk Mango, National Champion, Hall of Famer, & author of “Becoming a True Champion” in an Amazon review.

“My kids and I love this book. It really shows all of the emotions that a person can go through, in the end it is a great conversation starter…(My kids) love that a little boy, younger than them, writes these books. It has really made them see that they can do anything in life that they want to. It is well written and thoughtful,” said Jessica Johnson in a review.
