Author’s Note

If you are wondering if this coloring book is for children or adults, I am afraid I cannot tell you. It would depend on the child or the adult. It is intended to be for “children of all ages”, as they say. The worst swear word is “bummer”, if that is any help?
What else is there to say?
Oh yes: Enjoy!

Acknowledgements

I will try this in chronological order:
The first thanks go to all who said that this sounded like a good idea!
The next round of thanks goes to all who offered to help, even if things got in the way of it actually happening.
A very (very) big “Thank you” goes to this book’s fairy godmother, Kathleen Sloan, who smoothed over the bumps in the language and the story telling.
Thanks to Marilisa Valtazanou there are now yet fewer spelling errors and a lot more commas. Everything that is still odd is my fault, I mean, artistic license.
Another “Thank you” goes to Janie Wright Leiva. As a sensitivity reader she caught a lot that I did not see. (Check her out on fiverr!)
The last thanks go to you, who read this far.
