How the books work

Story first, then color

Every Meowelo book pairs a short story moment, just a few sentences long, with the same scene drawn to color. Children read the moment, notice what is happening in a small colored picture, then color the full-page scene in their own way.

Feelings turn up inside the adventures, the way they do in real life: curiosity on a rainy night, impatience in a garden, a plan that changes with the weather. Nobody stops the story to explain them. The books are made for reading, creativity and fun, and they are not a substitute for professional care.

The series

Little Adventures, Big Feelings

A planned series of twelve story-and-coloring books with Lunai and six friends, for ages 6–12. It begins with Lunai and the Quiet Moon In preparation.
