Understanding Oscar is a children’s book that offers a heartfelt exploration of the challenges and joys of raising a child with autism. With its engaging narrative and relatable themes, the book aims to provide support and understanding for families navigating similar experiences. Recognizing the need to reach a broader audience and connect with readers, the creators of Understanding Oscar partnered with COG Marketing to enhance their digital presence and effectively promote their book.
