"The Adventures of Nique, Nick, and Nelle" invites you into the lives of three young children who have the unique ability to turn everyday events into fun filled adventures. The first book of this series, "Quest for a Family Pet", is derived from a true story of how three young children try to "butter up" mom to purchase a puppy for their family. This adventure is told through the eyes of Nique (pronounced NEEK), the 10 year old big brother who is very funny and too smart for his own good. In this book Nique, Nick, and Nelle are very creative as they try to convince mom that they are ready to care for a pet. Mom loves her children very much, and would love for them to have a pet. But are they really ready for a puppy? Sonya Correll Cook is the oldest of four children and was born and raised in North Carolina. Over the years she has written numerous poems, songs, short stories, dedications, and newsletters. She has now focused her talents on writing picture books that appeal to children of diverse backgrounds. Sonya is a mother of three and strongly believes the family unit remains to be the strongest entity in society and the most impressionable in a child's life. She strives to instill strong morals and spiritual values in her children through everyday activities and experiences. "Through the eyes of a child", "A picture is worth a thousand words", and "Train up a child in the way he should go..." Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) These quotes inspired Sonya to create a series of fiction picture books. These books were created through the eyes of her children and to be enjoyed by young readers of diverse backgrounds. The product of this family collaboration is a series of books entitled "The Adventures of Nique, Nick, and Nelle". Everyone has a family, be it a one or two parent family, grandparent(s) raising grandchildren, or close nit friends. Members of all families are exposed to the same subtle lessons, they're just dressed differently. After all, Life Love, and Lessons are what families are about and lessons learned through laughter are not easily forgotten. Look for the second and third books of this series, "...And That's How the Cookie Crumbled", and "Nick's Big Game" to be released in 2008.
