The book is inspired by Grand-Dad Michael Washo, who passed away in 2012 from heart complications while under- going chemo and radiation treatments battling cancer. Michael created the first Stash the Dog Story, called “Stash Say’s” meant to teach children valuable life lessons. Michael was an incredible painter, and left this world with over 200 amazing paintings. The Adventures of the Coal Cousins combines 3 generations of childhood stories from the Washo, Malitsky, Gennaro and Cameron families, as if all generations were kids at the same time. The Cece and Lele characters are Sophie and Natalie Washo present age, while the Krusty character is inspired by T.J. Gennaro (Malitsky), who went on adventures as kids with Sophie and Natalie’s Daddy and uncles. Little Mikey is Michael Washo. Michael, “Grand-Dad” Washo to Sophie and Natalie, told countless child hood adventure stories to them while he grew up in “Patch Town”, McAdoo Pennsylvania! A percentage of net proceeds from the book will be donated to the Michael Washo Art from the Heart Foundation.
