Book Debuts @ Paint & Pixel – Updated!

Sarah Adam – Number Buddies
Number Buddies is a coloring book about how to draw the numbers, and make friends with them as well! This 28 page coloring and activity book is filled with whimsical poems and fun characters. Maybe you can create some number buddies of your own?

This book is based on the author’s own experiences with learning how to write the numbers as a kid. With as many counting books available, this coloring book gives life to the numbers themselves and properly introduces the numbers before the adventures (or terrors) of arithmetic.

Gary Smith – Doe-Nild and Tales of J’lleen
The Doe-nild is an outer-space soap opera about a man who finds himself with a renewed lease on life by the chance meeting with a most unusual woman named J’lleen. How Doe-Nild deals with his personal demons from the past and J’ll’s problem of being a stranger-in-a-strange-land and her longing to find the way back home will dominate their relationship together and only provide entertainment for everyone.
I felt a companion book featuring J’lleen as a teen would make a good vehicle for drawing in a way that I really enjoy and allows for introducing concepts and characters before they have the moment to affect the lives of Doe-Nild and J’lleen in harsher extremes. J’lleen, through a student-exchange program, meets Pallas Athena and her loyal friend Uhu the Owl. The three of them immediately click with each other and soon the adventures start to unravel themselves.
