Even thinking about Koko (and her kitten Ball) makes me tear up.
I cried a great deal over that book as a child and I’m not afraid to say it!

I don’t remember too much about Koko in my youth. Matt Cassity told me a story that inspired this post—- Koko watched Mr. Rogers on tv everyday and his routine of sweater and shoe switching. When Mr. Rogers came to meet Koko she immediately recognized him and took off his shoes. How Sweet!!
