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 the scene, then color the full-page picture 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.
