Cooper is Immedium Publishing's new Marketing and Design Intern. He is a senior at USF, with a major in Advertising and a minor in Design. Cooper enjoys being in nature and wandering through the city, and has been using quarantine to learn to cook (without a microwave).

By Brianne Drouhard
"The book is very sweet, and it will catch the attention of children who will identify themselves in the young unicorn Billie and follow her adventure. Adults (especially if they have never grown up like us!) will love the beautiful illustrations by Brianne Drouhard."
