The story behind the story
Coop waited a long time to meet the world.
More than a decade ago, Stacy had an idea for a children’s book built around a joke generations of children have loved. She asked her daughter, Cami—then twelve years old—to draw the perfect chicken. The moment Coop appeared on the page, he became the heart of the story.
The original manuscript was later lost to a failed laptop, but the idea never really left. Years later, Stacy brought Coop home again and finally gave Guess what?! the ending it had been waiting for.
