Book Synopsis
A whimsical and heartfelt journey through a magical world of origami creatures, Kiko's Origami Adventure empowers shy children to face their fears with creativity, courage, and the help of friends. Kiko is no ordinary girl--she's a delicate paper creation brought to life by her mother, a loving origami artist. Made with care and filled with wonder, Kiko longs to explore the world beyond her folded-paper home. But fear holds her back... until one day, curiosity calls. On her journey through a magical world of living origami animals, Kiko learns that bravery isn't about being fearless--it's about taking the next step, even when you're scared. With each encounter, she gains strength and wisdom: she crafts a raincoat to leap like frogs in the rain, builds a paper airplane to soar with a fledgling bird, plays joyfully with fox kits, and finds warmth and peace among gentle pandas. When an act of kindness leaves Kiko with a torn paper arm, her new friends band together to help her return home. With her mother's loving repair and encouragement, Kiko discovers the courage that was inside her all along. Kiko's Origami Adventure is a beautifully illustrated tale of resilience, friendship, and the magic that unfolds when we open ourselves to others. Perfect for readers ages 4-8, it's an uplifting reminder that we grow stronger not in isolation--but together.About the Author
