    About this ebook

    Join Cocoa, a curious and clever girl growing up in a low-income apartment development, as she embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery of college. In a heartwarming tale filled with wisdom and warmth, Cocoa turns to her wise grandmother, Grandma Ida, who, despite not having a high school diploma, becomes the beacon of inspiration for Cocoa's learning adventure. Together, they discover that the path to knowledge is not confined to a college campus, but rather, it unfolds through curiosity, determination, and the magic of learning from life itself. This charming story reminds us that the most important lessons are found in the everyday adventures of the heart, proving that with an open mind and a loving guide, the possibilities for learning are endless.
