Aura Cacia Teams up with Mo, the Rescue Dog, for Seaside Adventure
Book features unique Press-2-Smell™ technology that allows readers to experience true aromatherapy
Urbana, IA (Vocus) June 4, 2010
The scents of salt air, sandy beaches, the sea and the feeling of freedom they inspire come alive in the newest installment of the Mo’s Nose children’s book series. The unique picture books include natural scents that are released while reading. Aura Cacia (http://www. auracacia. com/), the leading provider of aromatherapy products in the U. S. has teamed up with the creators of Mo’s Nose, on the series’ third installment that follows Mo, the real-life rescue dog, and his puppy pal, Lucky, in Mo Smells Blue.
Exploring the beautiful sights and inviting scents of an island seaside environment, author Margaret Hyde and illustrator Amanda Giacomini have the two dogs exploring and surfing, all the while sniffing out the exhilarating blue scents around them, including the briny blue sea, the clear blue sky and the sweet blue lotion.
The book features a special Press-2-Smell technology that allows readers to smell all the “blue” aromas Mo discovers in his “scentsational” journey. Featuring 100-percent pure essential oils (http://www. auracacia. com/auracacia/aclearn/ar_basics. html) from Aura Cacia, Mo Smells Blue is an aromatic treat, releasing the scents of sandalwood, clary sage, sweet orange and lavender to enhance the imagination and reading experience.
A portion of the proceeds from Mo Smells Blue goes to the Best Friends Animal Society to support its initiatives with humane groups across the country – working towards a time when there are no more homeless pets. The Mo’s Nose series is dedicated to teaching kids about philanthropy, fun and making the planet a better place for all four - and two-legged creatures.
Author Margaret Hyde is an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, publisher, writer, and photographer living in Southern California. Illustrator Amanda Giacomini is an artist, graphic designer, and yoga teacher living in Northern California. Her dog, Mo, was the inspiration for the book series.

For 28 years, Aura Cacia has been sourcing and producing the purest essential oils for aromatherapy and skin care.
