Meet Dina Hampton, author and educator

Dina lives in St. Louis, Missouri, where she taught preschool for 26 years. Dina believes stories are a powerful way to nurture empathy, imagination, and giggles. Charlie and Coco: Frenchies in the City is her debut picture book and she hopes it brings as much joy to readers as these pups bring to her life.

Charlie and Coco: Frenchies in the City

Meet Charlie and Coco. Two Frenchies who love their life in New York City. This charming duo takes readers on a tour of a few of their favorite spots around the city. Charlie is mischievous and bold, while Coco is sweet with a touch of sass. With every season, snack, and sniff, they remind us that joy is everywhere—especially in the adventures you have with your best friend.
