Dance of Choco

In a world where dreaming, music, and independent thinking have been banned, a few brave friends embark on a journey to reclaim their right to joy, community, and beauty.

The Dance of Choco is an 80s-style dark fantasy flick turned gothic fairytale, wrapped in the warmth and humor of a children's bedtime story-for readers who have experienced reality and are brave enough to chase the light despite all odds.

Choco, a gentle goat with fierce hopes, is pulled into a shadowed world of forgotten magic, haunted forests, and unlikely friendships. Alongside secretive bakers, sorrowful ghosts, and a grumpy frog who never wanted to be a magician, he must traverse a world that has lost its wonder-and remember how to keep it alive.

Thought-provoking and rich with social, moral, psychological, and spiritual depth, Choco reminds us that hope itself is a form of resilience-and that in the face of adversity, moments of joy are still possible. It also shows us that friendship and community, despite the complexities of individuals, remain among life's most meaningful experiences.

Blending lyrical prose with evocative illustrations meant to spark deeper conversation and imagination, this is not a story crafted for easy answers-or easy comfort. It's for those who understand that joy is resistance, that softness is strength, and that storytelling is not escape, but confrontation, reflection, and hope.

Some stories are meant to stir the questions we've been taught to quiet.

In a reality that can be unsettling, this is a book for readers brave enough to feel, willing to learn, unafraid to grow, and eager to embrace depth.

-A bedtime story for those who don't pretend the dark isn't real.
