A Story of Acceptance, Quiet Strength & the Healing Power of Love: A heartwarming illustrated story about a wise black cat, an anxious young tabby, and the quiet discovery that being different does not mean being incomplete.
Mojo and the Dream That Changed Everything, © 2026 Ricardo A. López Rago, PhD. One Fifteen Press. ISBN: 979-8-9946650-2-2.
In this gentle and emotional story, Erica Vinoverde has learned to live without her sense of smell. Most days, she accepts it. But lately, the little things she cannot experience, the aroma of coffee, fresh bread, and the world around her, have begun to feel like a quiet loss.
Watching over her is Mojo, a calm black cat with luminous green eyes and a notched ear, whose years on the streets taught him patience, wisdom, and the power of staying close when someone is hurting.
With the help of Mojo, and a strange dream that changes how Erica sees her life, she begins to understand that difference is not the same as loss, and that sometimes the greatest comfort comes from realizing you were already whole.
This is a story about:
• Acceptance and self-understanding
• Living with difference
• The quiet wisdom of animals
• Love, presence, and emotional healing
• Learning that different is not less
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
