Mooka & Lou
The Adventures of Mooka & Lou: Wild Rice and Fire by Max Winders is a heartfelt debut children’s book that’s about more than just a story—it’s about instilling a love for the outdoors. With illustrations that transport young readers to the MN Boundary Waters, this book invites children to explore, dream, and “Go!”
At Team Abovo, we helped bring Max’s vision to life by designing a layout that complements the enchanting artwork and creates an immersive reading experience. From crafting each page to finding the perfect vendor for a durable hardcover, every detail was meticulously planned. And to make sure the story reached as many young adventurers as possible, we developed an easy-to-use Shopify website and ensured the book could be purchased via Amazon KDP.
