Sonya Renee Cooper is a powerful voice in children’s literature and a passionate advocate for literacy. As a published author of two impactful children’s books, Pinky’s Grey Days and Dollar Dollar I Wish You Would Holler. Sonya has made it her life’s mission to combat illiteracy, one book at a time. Her passion for reading stems from deeply personal experiences: both her father and ex-husband were unable to read or write. These early life encounters shaped her drive to be a part of the solution and use storytelling as a tool for change.
Growing up in a large family with seven siblings, Sonya learned early on the value of connection, compassion, and communication. These values have guided her career and fueled her desire to reach readers from all backgrounds. She has worked in school reading labs with students both excelling and struggling, giving her insight into the educational gaps that exist and the importance of engaging, relatable reading materials for all learners.
Sonya’s vision goes far beyond publishing books. Her goals include having her titles featured in Scholastic Book Fairs, school districts across the country, and adult learning programs because she believes literacy isn’t just for children; it’s a family affair. She envisions homes, classrooms, and communities where reading is accessible, enjoyable, and empowering.
Sonya is more than an author; she’s a literacy warrior, a community leader, and a woman of purpose. Her work proves that stories can do more than entertain. They can transform lives, heal families, and build brighter futures.
New Chapters and Bold Moves
Sonya Renee Cooper has been making major strides in her mission over the past few months. One of her most exciting updates is the completion of her third children’s book, titled First Day. This latest title continues her tradition of storytelling with heart and meaning, offering young readers a narrative that’s both comforting and empowering as they navigate the nerves and excitement of starting school.
But Sonya’s creativity doesn’t stop there. She has also begun writing her life biography, a deeply personal project that will chronicle her journey from witnessing illiteracy in her own family to becoming a published author and advocate. Her story is one of resilience, faith, and relentless commitment to breaking generational cycles through the power of the written word.
In addition, Sonya has expanded her brand by launching literacy-themed merchandise, including t-shirts and cups that reinforce her core message: literacy matters. These products are not just items, they’re conversation starters, awareness tools, and tangible extensions of her mission.
With momentum building and her voice growing louder, Sonya is showing no signs of slowing down. Her work continues to bridge gaps and build a culture where reading is a right, not a privilege.
