The Adventures of Sophia and Bob
A heartwarming underwater journey created by 10-year-old author Charlie and brought to life with the imagination of two sisters.
A Friendship Born in the Deep Blue Sea
The Adventures of Sophia and Bob follows an unlikely pair — Sophia the brave bobtail squid and Bob the shy anglerfish — as they explore the ocean, face challenges, and discover what true friendship looks like.
Together, they meet glowing jellyfish, colorful coral forests, and even the intimidating barracuda, Spike. Through courage, kindness, and teamwork, Sophia and Bob show young readers that bravery isn’t the absence of fear — it’s choosing to help others even when you're scared.

Created With Love
by Charlie & Riley
What began as simple drawings in a notebook grew into a fully illustrated children’s book. Charlie, now 10, wrote the entire story and helped design each character, while Riley, age 8, added her own drawings, ideas, and creative spark. Together—alongside illustrator Antonio Diez—the sisters brought the underwater world to life through bright colors, expressive characters, and imaginative scenes.
This book represents months of drawing and redrawing, learning about ocean life, transforming small ideas into real characters, and pushing through challenges with determination. Above all, it reflects the girls’ creativity, teamwork, and the love they poured into every page.
