Join Jossie on her tasty adventure-where every meal is a surprise, and every day is a new flavor to discover!

Industry Reviews

"What a great way to introduce healthy foods to young children! In Bokky for Breakfast, cute, precocious Jossie learns that foods can be sweet, salty, soft, or hard, and that not everything is yummy-but Jossie tries everything. As the book went on, I was also trying to figure out what bokky was-just like Jossie's mommy. How fun to ask the reader (or their child), 'What's your favorite breakfast?' Thoughtfully done and artfully illustrated."

- Debra Engelhardt Nash, speaker and consultant


"Jossie knows what she wants, and won't settle for anything less! Her freedom, persistence, and ability to express herself at such a young age is awe-inspiring. Bokky for Breakfast is attention-grabbing, colorful, and positive-the perfect book for growing toddlers."

- Donyale Wells, MSHS, executive pastor, Kingdom Life Christian Church


"I absolutely loved Bokky for Breakfast. It paints a realistic portrait of parenting and trying to understand children while also being very entertaining and boasting beautiful illustrations. What a great book-one that I highly recommend."

- Heidi Mount, dental business coach and mom


"An adorable book in which Jossie tests foods that begin with B to find the elusive 'bokky.' Children can guess along with Mommy as they search for Jossie's favorite breakfast food."

- Dawn Brotherton, author of If I Look Like You


"Bokky for Breakfast is a wonderful story that explores the challenging yet fun aspects of parenting as a mom tries to figure out what her toddler wants for breakfast. After a process of color, taste, and texture elimination clues, both mom and Jossie end up happy!"

- Kimberley Hundley, retired kindergarten teacher of thirty-six years and Williamsburg James City County school board member


"Bokky for Breakfast is an engaging and informative children's book that educates young readers about healthy eating choices. Its combination of an entertaining storyline and appealing illustrations make it an excellent resource for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to instill healthy habits in children. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational book for children."

- Sandy Pardue, dental consultant, Classic Practice Resources


"Bokky for Breakfast is beautifully written and illustrated! I found myself mesmerized by the storyline, wondering all the while, 'What in the world is bokky?' Jossie's character reminded me so much of my two grandsons-one of whom loves to try different foods, and one of whom is very particular and wants to eat his favorite food choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I cannot wait to receive copies of this encouraging book for them to read! An extra bonus is that they can also relate to Jossie's skin color and hair, and seeing themselves represented in this story makes such a difference. Thank you, Dr. Curry, for releasing this necessary book to the world!"

- Dr. Natalie A. Francisco, educator, speaker and author of Wisdom for Women of Worth and Worship, Parenting and Partnering with Purpose, A Woman's Journal for Joyful Living, and I'm Just Saying!
