Paloma RossaCottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children's books. We believe that every child deserves an excellent first book experience--beginning on the day they're born. Reading is learning is our driving hilosophy, and we strive to help parents understand why reading aloud from birth is so important. We offer a simple development-based guide to help them on their journey. Creating this book was such a collaborative mission - by our own writers, editors, and designers - we've chosen a collective name that references our little red bird mascot, Paloma bird. And Rossa is related to the family of red colors. So while the author, Paloma Rossa is not one actual person, she is very real indeed. And she believes in the spiritual and emotional well-being of your child. When Paloma isn't designing and writing children's books, she's reading, crafting, quilting, cooking and hiking!
