Coo by Kaela Noel

Enjoy our presentation of Coo by Kaela Noel and published by Harper Collins.  Ten years ago, an impossible thing happened: a flock of pigeons picked up a human baby who had been abandoned in an empty lot and carried her, bundled in blankets, to their roof. Coo has lived her entire life on the rooftop with the pigeons who saved her. But when a hungry hawk nearly kills one of her flock Coo must make a perilous trip to the ground for the first time to find Tully, a retired postal worker who can heal injured birds. Living with Tully, Coo experiences warmth, safety, and human relationships for the first time. But just as Coo is beginning to blossom, she learns the human world is infinitely more complex and cruel than she could have imagined.Coo is recommended for ages 8 and up for discussion of abandonment. For more information and reviews, please see the author's website. http://bit.ly/Coo_ReviewsThis title is available as an eBook and Audiobook on Hoopla. Hoopla eBook - http://bit.ly/Coo_HooplaeBookHoopla Audiobook - http://bit.ly/Coo_HooplaAudioPlease visit www.calvertlibrary.info for more information.Music: Dub the Uke (excerpt) by Kara Square (c) copyright 2016.

Kaela Noel and I discuss in detail how she trained to become an author, found a literary agent, rewrote her book until it was salable, and is now celebrating the release of her debut novel. We talk about worldbuilding and the pigeon research required to add authenticity to COO, as well as creating compelling characters in the story and the surety of being age 10. I ask her thrilling questions about the design and print layout of her book. We agree that both libraries and flying saucers are important and awesome.Kaela Noel was born in San Francisco and raised in New Jersey. She now lives in Brooklyn, New York where she works as a proofreader and editor. Coo is her first novel.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/middle-grade-ninja/support
