"Neena's Special Cookies" is a charming children's picture book about a young girl named Neena who lives on a ranch in the Colorado Rockies and loves baking cookies with her grandma. Using a questionable recipe (notably listing salt three times), she makes paw-print-shaped treats for her favorite animals—her horse Abby, the chickens, her pig Daisy, and her dog Luka. Though the animals politely thank her, they secretly find the cookies awful, spitting them out and hiding them to spare her feelings. Unaware of their dislike, Neena continues baking weekly, never realizing that a little bear cub sneaks back at night to devour the discarded cookies, making him her only true fan. With humor and heart, the story celebrates kindness, misunderstandings, and the unexpected ways love can be shown—perfect for ages 4–8 and animal lovers.
