Mocha Goes to Port Aransas

About the Book

Mocha Goes To Port Aransas is a child's book teaching safety when riding in a boat.

The story takes place at Port Aransas, Texas, a cozy island and the main character is a gorgeous, Chihuahua dog named Mocha. Mocha and Tama, her owner, go on a boat ride early one morning and Mocha's new, colorful beach ball flies off the boat and she jumped out of the boat to retrieve it right in the middle of the ocean!

Mocha goes deep in the ocean and some wonderful dolphins appear and actually save Mocha's life. Mocha is lifted up in the air and deposited right into her boat where Tama looks on with awe.

Later Mocha returns to her home and tells all her friends about the wonderful dolphins that saved her life.

About the Author

Tama Newman and Mocha, her adorable Chihuahua dog, live in Laredo, Texas. They enjoy going for walks at a local park and also for car rides.

Mocha is a very intelligent, sensitive dog who adores children. This is why I chose to write this child's book using Mocha as the character. She will teach children not to jump out of a boat and also the importance of using sun tan lotion to avoid getting sunburned.

Tama enjoys writing, cooking and walking. Tama's illustrator, Nicole Gomez, is her granddaughter and they plan to continue publishing children's books with Mocha as their character.
